This is a beutifuly on point article from... alJazeera. go figure.

[Tdcci]

Al Jazeera covers the world better than CNN covers America. It also has been a target of many government conspiracies.

That is a beautifully written--and accurate--article. And while, sad to say, that news organ seems to cover the truth much better than the military industrial house organs we have here, I question the original statement.

If they know America better than CNN, why is the latter so much better at manipulating it?

Am I mistaken in thinking that was rehashed from a older article? I think I saw some of paragraphs before?

[HollyforRP]

Didn't Aljazeera want their own news station in America but it wasn't allowed?

same. Not sure where it was from but it was definitely rehashed. Hopefully with permission from the original author...???

Great article, although at this point it's more of a eulogy :(.

[Rangeley]

That isnt the real Al Jazeera, for the record.

the point still stands tho, the rest of the world seems to understand america better than most of its citizens, which makes it even harder for us (non americans) to watch "the show".

don't worry about us. We'll be fine. This wont be the first time we've had to eject an evil king or queen.

It came from here... (http://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=2120)

Very well written though, the guy actually gets it.

The guy who wrote it has a book called "The Empire has no Clothes" (http://www.amazon.com/Empire-Has-No-Clothes-Foreign/dp/0945999984) Ron Paul endorced it.

“In The Empire Has No Clothes, Dr. Eland shows that the concept of empire is wholly contrary to the principles of liberals and conservatives alike and makes a mockery of the Founding Fathers’ vision for a free republic.”
—RON PAUL, U.S. Congressman

Aljazeera is actually a pretty good news source. I watch it occasionally and I've always liked their coverage.

It should be available on our regular cable channels.

Read the comments below the article. The only negative comment is from a guy from Israel:

So bring back slavery as well ... bla bla bla ... Good thing Ron Paul failed.

"John McCain (George W. Bush on steroids)" Haha, well said :D

[tropicangela]

I think this is the real Al Jazeera. McCain certainly lost in their online poll - http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/91D4E785-6C56-4369-8FE0-704C5259C4E7.htm
