War Without End: 2003 - 5 May 08

As usual, another outstanding documentary by Al Jazeera.  :)

I should point out that this is only the first two parts of a five part series. The last three have not yet aired.

Part 1


Part 2

Stop posting this bullshit. What u think they aren't biased. Its amazing how many of their douchebag journalists show up on or about the time our soldiers are ambushed or IED'd.

Biased?  Everyone tells their story from a point of view.  So all are biased in that respect.

We're over there.  Theyre not over here.  And never wanted to be.  Theyre media has more grounds for coverage of the occupation of their homeland.

I'll post whatever the fuck I want. If you don't like it, don't watch it. ;)

Do you suppose the "bullshit" you watch on FIXED FOX news isn't "biased?  ::) What a person who wants to be informed does is watch various news networks from the U.S. and abroad to develop a complete understanding of what's happening in the world. The rest of the world watches Al Jazeera, but knuckleheads like you keep America from seeing the outstanding work they do. Heck, half of the journalists working for Al Jazeera are British. But if it isn't American propaganda its all lies, right?  ::)
idiot

Benny...sorry douche but I do exactly that for Uncle Sam...media analysis. I also know far more about how and what AJ is and how they work then u. There are tons of arab cable outlets that present the war in a far and unbiased way. Ur opinion, much like most of the bullshit on this board is based on the Liberal hate machine propoganda. U guys read and regurgitate right from the anti-American Left every day.

Pentagon plans propaganda war...that organization was disbanded. It was a poor idea. We do enough with Phy ops anyway. Influencing audiences and getting people to do what u want them to do has become very important to the Military.

America watches Al Jazeera coverage as well, ...even on FOX News.

Most of the footage we see in the west is footage directly from Al Jazeera feeds.

We just superimpose our commentaries and personalities over them, ...but most middle eastern footage is from AJ

Dude AJ is extremely biased...JAG when u can produce a FOX producer that uses AJ B-Roll please let me know...I'll call the several I've worked with and compare notes.  ::)

Benny I can't type out a complete report to u because u wouldn't understand it. U've never served in Iraq. Its not a knock, I'm suree i wouldn't understand something dealing with ur job..atleast not froma blurb from some message board. AJ is biased. There are plenty of Arab media that do a pretty good job. My problem is we've had some reporters that have been to quick to the scene of some attacks on our guys.

The idea that AJ isn't bias to at least to some degree is ludicrous

to achieve balance one needs many news sources.

Do you recall the footage of the saddam statue being pulled down? You have to remember it, it's been broadcast all over the world on just about every news station. Where do you suppose that footage came from? it was an Al Jazeera feed. Each station that used it superimposed their watermark over it, as well as their ticker tape scroll, ...but it was Al jazeera footage.

PS: It's also the tight angle shot that saw people crowded around the base of the statue that gave the impression that it was a huge crowd that came out to witness, when in reality, they were handpicked by the US for the ceremony
