1. thank God they interviewed someone from Media Matters...
Showing the ignorance and bigotry of Bill O'Reilly and the overt nationalistic focus of the other networks was really embarrassing, but hardly news to us.

I'm sorry world. Not all of us are so narcissistic, bigoted and ignorant.

5. They just finished the story, sorry
They interviewed media matters and highlighted FNC fear chiefly and Papa Bear, my favorite Fascist.

6. The irony of watching Bill O'Reilly criticizing Al Jazeera
after defending Fox following the attempted assassination of Gabby Giffords and the murder of others was hilarious. Fox of course did not influence the killer but Al Jazeera influences people in the ME against America.

These fuckers are naked. This shit is over. No sensible person buys it anymore. Some of us never bought it.

8. Remember, MOST Americans are still inside the looking
glass... and yes, they still buy the shit.

You never did, and well... I grew up with our own version of Nile TV... Fox is about there.

9. One of our local independent television stations...
Gave up to Al Jazeera last night... just plumb switched over to them. I think that was a historic moment.

I know we look like pompous gasbags to the rest of the world... we must. There must be global face-palming when they see our news content.

12. ComcastM$NBC has been using
Al Jazeera's video feed since last Sunday - of course they have loads of hacks for the audio.

11. I saw that earlier on Link
and it was cringe-inducing because it was right on the money. Corporate news is worthless covering this and most other things because it's got that "what's in it for god, country and corporation?" myopia that prevents it from seeing the real story for what it is.
