4. I am not sure what to think of al jazeera.

I am told they are propaganda and "anti-american" but I believe the "powers that be" want us to believe that. :shrug:

I still have the movie on my hard drive I will have to rewatch it soon, maybe later tonight.

5. They are as much propaganda as CNN

The choose what they want to show.

Faux is in its own separate category, competing with Goebbels' Nazi Press and Pravda under Stalin.

6. They admit they are biased, opposing Fox

It is an interesting movie. Al Jazeera at least admits they are biased and are a counterbalance to FOX. This movie pissed me off too which is a good thing.

8. I found myself in complete sympathy with them throughout

the movie. to me it seemed like they could see through the bullshit. I saw what they saw. I must have the same bias as al jazeera.

9. I thought they were more honest than Fox

they cut through the BS.

7. The documentary is remarkably even-handed

considering it has been called treasonous by the RW talking boobs.

10. I really liked this movie and would recommend it to all.

It is good seeing behind what any media shows. The reason I was pissed after seeing this is disgust at the USAnian media, showing how state controlled it is.
