Actually, I think the network is a good thing. It is uncensored, and I don't think under anyone's particular control. A diversity of opinion is a good thing. Debate is a good thing. But we shall see, now that it has a site in English. It will be interesting to see if the English site has the same stuff as the Arabic site. A divergence would cause the network to lose credibility.

Would you say Joseph Goebbels propaganda represented positive diversity of opinion? Al Jazeera is for all intents and purposes the propaganda ministry of Al Qaeda and other Islamists. It is not a legitimate news source in any way.

I have bridges and land to sell you, I could even sell you a couple of Saddam's palaces. Cheap!

Be serious. Al Jazeera is funded by the various terrorist elements,from Al Qaeda to the Palestinians, to Saddam and it's their mouthpiece. To say that Al Jazeera is uncensored is about the same as to say that the Iraqi media is uncensored.
