Poll question: Media
Out of the following sources, which do you consider the most reliable? (I know it's not complete, it's not meant to be)

4. I may have jumped the gun
But it's a force pull. Three Mainstream sources and Al-Jazeera. How exactly do you expect people to react if they read "Well it's official. By a margin of 5 to 1, the patrons of DU prefer Al-Jazeera to American media outlets."

6. But I didn't include all US media outlets, just the cable news channels
and I personally think Al Jazeera has a bit of a bad rap. Some of their opinion pieces are quite offensive to me, so are some of Fox's but as far as actual reporting goes they seem to have some respectable standards and to be fairly well connected in the arab/muslim world.

Not meant as bait, but if people choose to take it that way it's ok, if it's not this it'll be something else.
