They make really excellent fajitas, but you haven’t lived until you’ve tried their black bean soup. Oops, there I go shilling for them again.

How disturbing. Doubtless the work of far-left secular progressives, as Bill O’Reilly calls them.

…Oh, c’mon…if I hadn’t done it, someone else would have.

I’d say we’re making progress.

Had to get up the next morning at 5:30 AM to catch the previous evening’s Le Téléjournal on TV5 to find out who won.

This is bad. It should behave like American news media, which would never do anything to reflect any characteristics of its audience…like showing real people with real problems and reall consequences.

Or did you mean not-just-Arab-world world news?

The first jihadi fistbump will send the right whingers into an apoplectic rage.

You might sum it up by saying that the channel hasn’t invented any of the prejudices of its audience; it just reflects them, and that can be both informative and disturbing. No word on how the English service might be different, but on a less friendly note, Dave Marash explains why he quit:

Elsewhere he has suggested the simplistic and negative view of the U.S. at Al-Jazeera English was propagated not mainly by the station’s Arabs, but by the Brits who work there.

Oh it will be, but in a much more sophisticated, subtle fashion. I’m looking forward to lengthy dissections of camera angles, studio sets, dress, hairstyles and tone of voice which reveal hidden messages of indoctrination into dhimmitude.

As long as Al Jazeera is not like Palestinian tv, where they show kids cartoons teaching them anti-semitism, murder and martyrdom, than I think the more voices the better.

Apparently, that goes for National Post journos also. Well, I assume they’re getting paid…in money…
