Frontline World did a great piece the other night on Arab news outlets. One of the questions Frontline posed was why isn't Al Jazeera English broadcast in the US, currently cable and satellite providers have refused to carry it. The only way to view it is on the internet. Surprisingly the two military members assigned to media duties in Dubai that Frontline followed for a day felt it should be broadcast.
Great show and interesting topic.

What?
Al-Jazeera is NOT broadcasted in the US?
WTF?
You gotta be fcuking kidding me.
Self-censoring of the worst kind.
Of course Al-Jazeera should be broadcasted. It's actually a pretty decent news station, although I personally prefer BBC News, Sky News, CBS and CNN.
They offer balance, and they're definitely a news station.
Not some kind of terrorist network.
