Ted Koppel just reported that Al Jazeera is televising 4 hours DNC
each night-- more than all three networks combined. Good, I say..... It can only help to have Arabs see that we are TRYING to get rid of this lying cabal. Moderate muslims may regain some faith and serve to help tamp down some of the radical elements if Kerry is elected-- one can hope.

2. I would bet a large sum of money that Al-J covers the RNC, too
And we won't hear a word about it.

4. I am watching it. and they are showing American Arabs who are
delegates, and interviewing. This idiotic administration does not realize that Aljazeera will be the best tool to spread the vision of the US democracy. Go USA, Go Aljazeera. .

5. I guess that means terrorists support Kerry
or at least that's what reporting that seems to imply. What an ass.

6. There's a good thought!
Ironic that Al Jazeera's banner was taken down..I believe from the Convention center? Although, I don't know why we should be ashamed of them..they're just trying to show all the news aren't they?

7. Comcast was taken down too
I'm not going to get into a debate about the al Jazeera banner all over again.

BUT, I'm happy to see that they are covering the convention and betting that they don't have the right-wing bias from analysts that the others do.

Go AJ!!!

8. I'm glad we have c-span and I'm happy that the
rest of the world out there has Al Jazeera and I believe I read that the BBC is broadcasting too.

9. seen by 40mil people all over the world
As for the so-called "moderate Muslims regain some faith", that's quite unlikely if they're watching the same pro-crusade party that I was.
