There's a load of natter until 4 minutes in, which is when the "analysis" of Al Jazeera Begins. The reporter in Qatar corrects the Muppet in the studio.

Sort of.

Two things he gets massively wrong. They have been 'banned' from only one country. Not 5.

And that country is Iraq.

And that was because http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=6848728">they were filming what was going on in Fallujah.

To this day, whoever is in charge has not lifted that ban.

The second thing he gets massively wrong is that those US TV providers are not "the only way it can be watched". It's available here 24/7 for free on a good quality live stream: http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/


Please read this debunking of the myths and give it a kick, if you'd like to help clear their name:
