[GPSCC-chat] "Media Miss the Al Jazeera Story"

[Brian Good]

Also, if anyone has not seen the 2004 film, "Control Room", 2004, Magnolia Pictures,
distributed by Lion's Gate, check it out.  Palo Alto Library has a copy.  

>From the blurb: 

"A chronicle which provides a rare window 
into the international perception of the Iraq War, 
courtesy of Al 
Jazeera, the Arab world's most popular news outlet. Criticized by 
Cabinet 
members and Pentagon officials for reporting with a pro-Iraqi 
bias, and strongly condemned 
for frequently airing civilian casualties 
as well as footage of American POW's, the station has 
revealed (and 
continues to show the world) everything about the Iraq War that the Bush
 
administration does not want the public to see."

Thumbs and toes up!
