Who formed this television broadcast station? Do you feel it a political tool used by Muslims to broadcast hate for the USA?
QUOTE Over the years, the Arabic satellite television network Al Jazeera has come under intense criticism from governments around the Arab and Western world. Some leaders in the Gulf have objected to Al Jazeera¹s presentation of views critical of governments in the region, and members of the Bush administration have claimed that the network is biased against the U.S and its policies. We talk with author Hugh Miles about the origins of the network.

I do not have access to this station to answer this without being biased, however, it does seem like they are most willing to publicize all acts and announcements given them by militants. This leads me to believe that they do favor the messages of islamists as far as announcing them, but I am not sure if this is a media strategy for fame and money or really for a 'cause'.

It is definitely interesting that they are always privy to such sensitive materials and footage, that no one else can get their hands on. My belief is that if they can acquire such materials that they be held accountable for harboring these terrorists and be forced to assist in the capture and destruction of the terrorists and their organizations. However, since they exist and function in the middle of the Islamic nation, they will also have a lot of protection, especially from Western powers.

I do not know if it is that they acquire them per se as much as it is given to them (by mail, anonymous, etc.) because the Islamists know that they will publish it. I am guessing that if Islamists know they can give it to the BBC and they will show it, then they will do it. You see Al Jazeera, does not edit it's content, but loves to 'show all', thus inflicting more terror on behalf of the Islamists, the BBC may hold back something.

Well, well, well. Al Jazeera opened a new channel in English to give their version of the events going on in the Middle East.

| LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Arabic television station Al Jazeera launched an English-speaking channel on Wednesday to report world news from a Middle East perspective and challenge the dominance of Western media. The station, which has angered Washington and some Arab governments with its reporting from Iraq, said it wanted to give a fresh voice to under-reported regions round the world. "We are trying to expand our audience beyond the Arabic-speaking world, and enter the English-speaking world," said Wadah Khanfar, director general of the Al Jazeera Group. "One of our goals is to reverse the flow of information to the south," he said, arguing that the Middle East and developing nations have until now not had a voice of their own. In doing so, the new channel mirrors projects in France, Russia and Africa that aim to give a regional perspective in English, the dominant global language, but offer little commercial reward to their owners. "The model is the BBC's World Service," Steven Barnett, a professor of communications at the University of Westminster, said. "The Foreign Office didn't fund that out of generosity. It funded it because it was spreading the voice of Britain. "It was not forcing propaganda down people's throats but it was still bringing to bear a perspective that was essentially British and spreading it around the world," he told Reuters.... |

Washington Embraces Al Jazeera:
Cowardly US cable providers refuse to grant the channel a distribution platform, largely for fear of being perceived as supporting or enabling a network that for years has been portrayed negatively by US officials. Ref. Source 6
