again, and you view is based on..... ?

My view is based on my being Iraqi and spending my childhood there until I was 16 and moved to the United States with my father. My mother and brother still live in Iraq. I know the "news" from Al Jazeera well enough and I am sure a lot better than you who probably hasn't even heard of them up until Sept 11.
Just don't think a documentary would give you the real thing in the same way.

blackspade you're pretty quick to believe a nicely edited film with good pictures and music huh?
It would be easy to fool this crowd. All I have to do is edit some footage together with things you want to believe, attach a good soundtrack and tell you that your own government is lying to you, call it a documentary and.
*** Poof ***
it becomes your new reality.

i always thought they gave a fair and balanced view of the news that american media don't care about showing over here....
if you could elaborate on why you don't like them I'd be interested to hear....

Quite apart from a balanced view or not, arent they a bit sensationalist? (maybe grisly is the right word?)

Al Jazzera (?) seems ok, they are telling news from their perspective. I wonder what the iraqi's make of the vitriol spouted by Fox? no different.
the american backed islamic news might be slightly worse I would have thought?

nah no soundtrack, u obvioiusly havent seen it and are guessing
personally i thought it was great, and gave a totally different perspective on things
to each his own
different media, different truths
