We Desperately need a New kind of “News” channel.

my position comes from evaluationg of al-jazeera, but hey nothing like offering an assumptive reality in lue of an actual one, cuz no one would do that.certainly not al-jazeera who appeals to you as you literally did just that hmm.

i think it is great to have all the different perspectives shared.but the problem is we arent looking at them as different perspectives as they are, but like religious nut bags are fighting over which story is truth, when they are all spin.

personally i get a kick out of watching right wing coverage,left wing coverage,bbc coverage and the rest of the worlds coverage of a given story (except for the rt, cuz they seriously dont even try) to see what the middle is between them all.

i just dont understand thinking one is superior when they are all pulling the same obvious shit

I'm not saying you're racist, merely put off by a name, though perhaps it landed rather close to the mark.

agh I'm wasting my bloody time.

I couldn't agree more.

I don't see anyone here calling AlJazeera "evil propaganda" -- it's basically on a level with BBC (being the successor to BBC Arabic, much of the staff included). But, like any other news outlet, it shouldn't be assumed that it is the sole purveyor of "truth" (whatever that may be in the media) You have to be sceptical and shop around for different viewpoints. Recently, for instance, AlJazeera's coverage of Syria has been very much in line with what its Qatari gvt owners would want to see reported. Fortunately, RT, Spiegel, FAZ and WSWS have been providing alternative viewpoints on that. All news involves some spin.

You make some good points.

what other element are you playing on then?what is associated by the name is not an ethnocentric value based in the middle east?

i find racism and all manner of prejudice disgustingly counter productive, with the only thing worse that it itself is the exploiting its disgusting nature for personal fun.like calling people who arent even remotely racist such,which devalues the claim itself when one seeks to apply it to those who are deserving.

for fuck sake dude, you are talking to "freecrack" who is responding to "livingpong" and you are trying to sell the idea that the shakespearian "what is in a name" applies to me?

you have nothing to base this on, just need some one to attack.im happy to be that person cuz i really dont care, but you really should try growing up a lil here man.

well it tends to be a waste of time to speak based on emotions in lue of facts in general.it will be a waste of time anytime ya do it

damn you canadians with your civility and rational thought!!!!!!!

Even the most Conservative of the founders would object to the actions of our current media "News" channels. Jefferson would be Outraged to put it mildly.

objective and persistent journalistic corps is essential to a democracy
I truly agree!

Thanks Kenny. This is my first post in a Long time and it is good to see you are the first to respond. ;-)
