" don't see the difference, though. Both speak for Islam, don't they?"

===

Exactly. This is what their Muslim/Arab readers read.

Saying that this is not the Al Jazeera TV network, is like saying that the New York Times is NOT CNN. Soooo?

They are still the same lying MSM, and the various Arab media is still parroting the Dem lying talking points.

al jazerra, al gore, al franken, al queda, all speaking from the same koran. Bush lied, we tell the truth. Republicans bad, al queda {the middle eastern branch of the demonRAT party} good.

Not really. Looking at the site, it's more like claiming that some random blogger isn't CNN. From what I can google, aljazeera.com is a electronic version of what used to be a print magazine, but is now only distributed in electronic form. According to their response to a complaint filed by Al Jazeera tv they claim:

"It has operated in London since 1992, but has a regional office in Dubai, which is the address for the administrative and technical contact for the domain name. It says that it operates a publishing business in which it employs 32 members of staff globally, with offices in the United Kingdom and in Dubai, and editorial teams in the United Kingdom, Egypt, and Malaysia."

By their own numbers, they only claim 8000 subscribers and certainly wouldn't qualify as 'mainsream media' especially in the Middle East. Nor do they make any pretence at impartial reporting (one of the main links on the homepage is titled 'conspiracy theories'!)
