Reply #110: There are two Al Jazeeras and we have to be careful not to conlfate the two

[Turborama]

Al Jazeera English Is broadcast globally and has been covering this, as you can see on their front page http://english.aljazeera.net/ & their YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/aljazeeraenglish and their TV channel http://www.youtube.com/user/aljazeeraenglish

Al Jazeera (the Arabic language channel) Is broadcast locally and may not have been covering it, as Angry Arab states. I don't know because we can only get Al Jazeera English here. http://www.aljazeera.net/portal

UPDATE - Al Jazeera are reporting it on their website: http://www.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/F0178AFC-9965-458E-BBEC-55AD7A200B61.htm?GoogleStatID=1

As they state themselves:

Myth: Al Jazeera English is a Translation of the Arabic Channel
Al Jazeera English is unlike any other channel in the word. We are truly concerned with reporting international affairs, not just news that is governed by the West. We are a separate channel from Al Jazeera Arabic and we offer a different perspective. However, we are proud to build on the Arabic channel’s heritage of fearless reporting.
