US Now At War With Iran

Post by Jives »

Did I read that right? Isalmic radio stations in the US?

Well, I read the article and I have to admit that an information war is called for. I'm pretty tired of Al Jazeera posting outright lies to the world with no rebuttal by us.

If they can get al kazeera they can get other satallite channels, there is also radio like the BBC world service which broiadcasts in Arabic. are you seriously suggesting western media doesn't get played on other countries? Maybe if they broadcast in the right language they might get listened to otherwise what's the point. to complain foreigners don't listen when you don't broadcast in their language kind of misses an obvious problem.

Why do you watch Al Jazeera? I've never seen it, apart from any other consideration I only speak my native tongue so there would not be much pount viewing it. I don't watch the German channels either although some of the videos they show don't need words :D

Well, I don't actually....watch.....Al jazeera. I only see the clips that the other American news services show me. Which is to say that I'm getting slanted information myself. :(

But the clips I've seen were nothing but pure anti-American propaganda.

Then they may actually show a balanced viewpoint, you never know the us media is going to be selective about what it shows.

alBBCa is anti-US, thats we we need our own stuff going in. But its 'No Terrorist Left Behind' again and the operations is so underfunded that it is not taken seriously. Condi said she would look into it though.


While the Bush administration has insisted on a truthful reporting of the war from its military information officers yet it has become apparant that the truth has been bent in a limited number of cases to target particularly biased journalists, newspapers and TV media such as The New York times, The Guardian, the Independent and al Jazeera.


Bollocks, try and understand reporters are supposed to ask politicians to justify their actions and by their very nature be critical that is their function in a country with a free press. If you want a country with a media that only puts out what the government allows go to china or somewhere. Are you seriously suggesting the bbc should be more like al jazeera and put out just propoganda? Stick around it's a safe bet that TB is going to try and stop the BBC being impartial
