I can't imagine news like that taking 4 months to break with all the foreign news crews keeping watch over the evil US there.   It would have been on the wires long ago.  

I love the slanted headlines in this alJazeera thingy...   The Headline reads "US soldiers urinated on Bahraini detainee"   However, the statement says that the guy felt liquid on him, but was unable to tell if they had peed or pretended to pee on him.  Give me a break!!!

Yes, exactly my thoughts as well. But isn't Al-jazeera a reliable, un-biased news source? :rolleyes:

You realize the napalm story broke during the actual assault?

Sure thing. Except one little detail. As far as I know, there was a grand total of 0 foreign camera crews inside Fallujah during the time of the assault, and I'm not even going to consider embeded reporters as journalists. The two biggest Arabic stations, al Jazeera and al Arabiya aren't even allowed into Iraq, much less a critical location such as Fallujah, and even when they were, they were routinely being shot at and bombed. So your case doesn't really hold up.

I've heard (from articles by reporters on the 'rise' of the channel; I think in the Glasgow Herald or on the BBC) that al-Jazeera is actually considered a fairly well-balanced channel; but it appears biased simply because it has (and presents) an Arab viewpoint, which western TV viewers aren't used to.

He's referring to aldo you Fox addicts. :p

Since he wasn't speaking to aldo in the first phrase..."That man".....wouldn't he have used the pronoun "he" then instead of "you" in the second?

Don't get me wrong....i would hope that was true rather than the alternative possibility that he was making a sexist remark or something...

well the way that some of the people on HLP have been pushing her buttons, ie caller her a liar, exaggerator, or flat out stupid because her beliefs lie along a different path than than those of the politards, it's no wonder that she doesn't view anything on here as a joke.  The sarcasm runs ramapant toward new people, she's not the only one.  So when all you hear is sarcasm directed at you, it isn't a far stretch to see a remark like that directed at you.  

i don't think we have ever posted a news story, or interview....from a source either unbiased or biased.  On the other hand, while people claim to be posting from an unbiased news source, they are obviously biased, let's face it, all of the news sources are biased.  The only ones that people call biased are the ones that go against what they believe, and not go with them.  So let's look at that one for a second, we take an already biased opinion, and feed it from a source that is supposed to be unbiased, instead of presenting just the facts.  Facts are boring and don't get ratings, ask jerry springer.
