Does anyone else think that the Al J is doing a good job.
In a region that has hardly ever known a free press
have AL J done enough to walk the fine line which is very fine there, to report without excessive bias.
I would expect the bias and it is there but I think they have managed it quite well. What do you think?

I still watch Fox but rarely now, as for them being unbiased, as an outsider I can say without bias that all American networks have a bias that is easily as 'bad' as AL J.
Most though are domestic bias DEM/REP nonsense that completely dominates US politics.

I think it is slightly biased like BBC news, and is far less biased than Fox or CBS news. I find that generally that it does a reasonably good job.
Often officially partisan programs and news papers are less biased than the mainstream media that carries secret agendas. If you read the Communist paper "Morning Star" or another partisan publication of this type you will see they usually contain less rants than say "The Sun" or "The Mail".

koalatcom, I like your answer! I did take a glance but all I was taken aback by is aren't the newsreaders from skynews and cnn before. All these familiar faces have gotten me a bit tired to look at. Can't they change to fresh faces? I wasn't listening to the news. So, no, I don't watch it. I stick to Foxnews which is fun, fast, great looking people and very united.

I think they are impartial to a point. I believe they do a helluva lot better job than CNN. I hate that useless station.

I think they have very good pr people working for them.. appointing David Frost to make them appeal to westerners.. still think it's a crap channel.
