3. Cool!! Check out Salon.com's article on why most of us must rely on the online version..

Really good article, I thought.

http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/01/28/dahl_al_jazeera/index.html

Al Jazeera English's only bureau in the Western Hemisphere occupies five floors of a nondescript office building on Washington, D.C.’s K Street. The lobby is drab -- just a hallway and two elevators. There is no sign on the door, no gold symbol affixed on the wall. In fact, the name Al Jazeera does not appear anywhere. If you didn’t know better, you might think the building was home to dentist’s offices or mid-level lobbying firms, instead of the most controversial news channel in the world.

To get upstairs, a non-employee must have an escort, and on a cold day last spring, mine was Lauren McCollough. McCullough works for Brown Lloyd James, the public relations firm that represents the Qatar-based channel in what has proven -- and might have been expected -- to be the hostile territory of the United States.

10. The original article is from 2008

but Salon dusted it off, pretty appropriate for the activities we've been witnessing.

I won't hold my breath for Charter Comm. to pick up the tv version. Wish they would.

8. Wow, did you make time to read all that?

Your snip was as far as I made it. I wish I could get the nut-graph up top and move along. Did you make it through it all? I assume we don't get AJ for the same reason we don't get Democracy Now!

9. You couldn't get it to load?

Didn't want to break any DU regs by posting too much. The article is really good though and thought it a good idea to post it here to get some exposure. I quick read but saved a copy for more indepth reading later on.
