Al-Jazeera grabs spot in DNC convention
Boston Herald ^ | July 21, 2004 | Dave Wedge

Posted on 07/22/2004 4:27:39 AM PDT by anita

It's been called everything from the CNN of the Arab world toTaliban TV. Next week, though, the controversial Al-Jazeera network will for the first time at a political convention take its place alongside other major networks in a skybox, providing live coverage of the Democratic National Convention from the FleetCenter.

Critics have charged that the Qatar-based network is a mouthpiece for Osama bin Laden because it has aired several unedited videos of the terrorist leader that some say could be spreading deadly messages to al-Qaeda sleeper cells. Adding fuel to the anti-American criticism is the network's airing of gruesome beheadings of captured Americans and others.

Oh wait you don't have time to do the simplest of verification. Speaking of touchy, your response reminds me of those girly men in Cali

I'd say that's what this means: "alongside other major networks in a skybox, providing live coverage of the Democratic National Convention from the FleetCenter."

With the Towelhead Network sitting in the skybooth, it might actually be a safe convention to attend.
