I want my Al-Jazeera
Why is it I can never access Al Jazeera? I can’t ever seem to access their English site either.
Ever since 9/11, I’ve been quite curious as to the content of their website. I want to know what they report and since I don’t see myself buying Arabic Satellite TV anytime soon or learning how to read (or speak) Arabic, I probably won’t get to ever regularly see what type of things they cover. If you know how I might be able to see their website or even a cache of some of their content, I would be eternally grateful. Leave your comments.
Update: This is probably a temporary link but you can currently access Al Jazeera by using This link. It even says at the top of this page it is temporary, due to high traffic, and the main page still doesn’t load. They need to get it together.
Update: I was able to finally go to aljazeera to load, and I signed up for an email address: ramdac@aljazeera.com. Weird. Try it out. I’ll let you know if I get any mail.

Not hardly chief. Saying that CNN or moveon is comparable to Al-Jazeera is like saying rightmarch.com or georgewbush.com is comparable to xxx.com or disney.com or comparable to some radio station in cuba.
These things couldn’t be further different. Al-Jazeera is highly biased against the West (that’s us) and is highly biased FOR themselves as arabs and muslims (That’s them).
This isn’t a liberal or conservative thing dude. Our most consrvative republicans are TERRIBLY more Liberal than ANYONE at Al-Jazeera.
Heh

aww man, bro calm down, I just pointing out that Al-Jazeera is baised. Of course they AL-Jazeera is gonna be baised to their people. I am willing to bet that they feel the same way about CNN or any American News media.
I was really just kidding around, bubba. I dont know of a news organization that isnt biased is some way, even my beloved Fox news.

No joke. Fox was bashed on the hill this week for releasing a press briefing that was totally biased. It was funny seeing the guys on the hill talk about how rediculous it was.

I agree that we as Americans could use a little more perspective. I commend you on being open minded enough to want to hear a different world view.
Of course, I think the the Ameriocan Liberal Media is keeping us all fat dumb and happy. They feed us what they think we need to see and hear. Hell, even the local news is a farce. There is a crime wave in SW Little Rock to the extent that there are home invasions on a weekly basis. You’ll never see that covered on Live at Five.
