Vince Green Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Does anybody else watch Al Jazeera? I find it is often really good quality reporting, and very balanced, about a lot of of things not just in the middle east. I expected it to be really biased but its not at all like that.

matone Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 It`s a proper news programme,like they used to be !BBC news is more like a light entertainment/public info programme in comparison and far too much time given to sport,which is unimportant to real life .

Raja Clavata Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Whenever anything serious goes down I switch over to Al Jazeera, like you say very balanced... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I check the news on their website from time to time, certainly presents a different angle to what mainstream media often tells us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Al Jazeera used to be the BBC until the whole Death of a princess thing and then the emir of Qatar stepped in and bought IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Juicer Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I used to watch it. I was surprised at how balanced it was. I base that on There was another that released clips of executions under the same name online , but wasn't the news channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

achosenman Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I keep tabs on all of them. They all have an element of bias one way or another. I find it easier to get a balanced view of the subject matter this way. Atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Must admit I haven't watched AJ much recently but find the normal news channels perfectly sufficient, excellent for smelling out what they're trying to hide or promote . One day I even aim to understand what people mean when describing the BBC as lefty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
