As far as Al J is concerned, would you rely on the "Evangelical Christian Anti-Muslim News Network" for news about north Africa? That's how AJ appears to some of us.

Yeah, U.S. media does it too, but mostly in an anti-american bent, too.
I'm talking about Al Jazeera English. 95% of the people that work for it don't even know arabic and arn't even muslim. Just go into their station in Doha and you'll see... Those that do speak arabic are usually Lebanese (or thereabouts), and are quiete pro-america.

As for Al Jazeera (in arabic), I'm not a fan of that channel at all. They're more concerned about arabic countries than anything else. So, it's pretty much, if it has nothing to do with middle east, or north africa, it won't even be shown.

Edit; Respect to you for the two degrees. Must've been a lot of hard work.
