Reply #9: Hmmm. Al-Jazeera SUUUUUCCCKKKKS too, huh? [View All]

Not sure how 'allowing' cable providers the *option* to carry a heavily monitored and subsequently censored Al-Jazeera is *any* indication of the state of journalism in Canada.

But it does make one wonder why so many people are *afraid* of seeing another perspective.

On the otherhand, Al-Jazeera will probablly never hit the airwaves due to the policing and censoring restrictions that come with the privledge. No cable provider wants to have to decide what is *appropriate* or not. And that's due to *liability* issues rather than any particular political leaning.
