Not saying it's credible or anything, but can be an interesting view on things. www.aljazeerah.info |

The implication was that the information provided by CNN was rather biased (obviously) towards the coalition cause. You'll notice the al Jazeera website clearly states it has no pictures of the captured US soliders. Nor does it make an effort to display US causualties (although it doesn't mind showing injured Iraqis).
Take everything you read or see in times like these with twelve grains of salt. Just like a lot of folks on this board have taken a side, so have many news agencies.

Did you see the interview that CNN anchor Aaron Brown had with a spokesman for Al Jazeera concerning the displaying of video of the captured and killed US soldiers? This is how it basically went: Aaron Brown (AB): What in the world were you thinking displaying that horrid footage? Al Jazeera guy (AJ): Yes, the footage was horrible and we took discretion to not show it ourselves. AB: But you did show it yourselves! AJ: But only a few times. AB: How many times did you show it? AJ: Maybe 2-3 times. AB: Why?! AJ: We wanted to demonstrate the fact that war is gross. AB: Yeah, okay...sure, whatever. Massacred US soldiers...u think this is necessary? AJ: We are a relatively young station (and make mistakes due to inexperience)...if you will recall, when CNN was about our age, CNN showed footage of dead US soldier bodies being dragged around in Somalia. That was just as gross. AB: Yeah, sure..whatever... --  |
