not in my experience

I listen to Democracy Now, Aljazeera and occasionally BBC, where there may occasionally be inflammatory interviews, and a bias on content favouring the Arab perspective it is the only english speaking Arab media organization. I believe the world needs these perspectives to fully understand positions on Israel and the Arab experience. There is almost no media attention to the flagrant double standards of the USA, and Israel, the Palestinians are a people virtually without a voice and I for one welcome the alternate perspectives reported by Aljazeera, They tackle some very contentious political issues which is more than the north American mainstream media is willing to do and I am fully capable of drawing my own conclusions on information received thanks.
