[High Sierra Buck]

But here at home, we can broadcast the non-truth. So, is this hyprocacy or what?

The United States launched a broadside attack on the Al-Jazeera television network, accusing the Qatar-based broadcaster of repeatedly airing "false" and "inflammatory" reports.

Hey, how about those false TV ads we run in this country?? Maybe we should kleen the shit up in our own toilet before we start demanding others kleen the shit out of their toilets :silly:

we tell you what you need to hear to agree with us, truth is not a requirement, and no fairness rules can apply.

4. That's pretty funny, in a "Stalin tells Nazis to be nicer," kind of way

Laughable, but funny.

5. Ooh, will they do the same here?

That would be great!

fwiw: Al Jazeera is the Fox News of the Middle East. I'd take everything they say with a grain (or more) of salt too.

6. How bout those Kerry will raise Gas prices 50 cents

Thats really truthful, how about the rest of the shit we broadcast as the truth? :nuke:

I think the old expression of those who live in glass houses should not throw stones is quite appropriate here. :shrug:

Qatar has shrugged off similar US complaints, citing a desire to promote a free and vibrant press.

The stations have been providing graphic images of the devastation and casualties in the Sunni stronghold of Fallujah during ongoing fierce fighting between US forces and insurgents :nopity:
