Al Jazzera sold out to the Beeb?

[Saturlight]

I presume after looking at the all new Al Jazzera news channel on Hotbird, that the BBC have bought the right to screen the news...

Not that I am all for blood and gore, but I have noted the news content on the channel is not as graphic or as impartial as it used to be. Even when showing the Saddam hanging, they slowed the motion down and didn't always show the coverage like Sky TV did, ie unedited and free flowing...

I didn't even see the noose go over, yet Sky News showed that...

Yeah i noticed that.. i ended up watching the hanging on youtube.. my misses said "why do you keep watching it over and over" my reply was.. "cause its funny"

 

[Saturlight]

I couldn't find the hanging on YouTube.

 

[Yeshi]

AJ English is p*** poor, it hardly 'sets the news agenda' like it says it does, in fact, it can hardly keep up with it. Rubbish, at least with Fox News you get a good laugh at how hopelessly they try to hide their bias!

Ok, Yeshi, and you're bang on right Salty, BBC Al Jazeera is rubbish. It's not news one bit.

you dont expect them to show x-president killing and blood in the Eid (i.e Feast festivals) cause its forbidden to fight and to kill in those days .
think some ppl are too harsh on the channel just because they dont get the whole picture and cant get all the facts stright .
