I have no knowledge of Aljazeera, but in all honesty which news agencies really are credible?
CNN? I would think not.

Actually Al Jazeera is just as credible as Fox News, CBS, NBC, CNN, ABC, etc.

Al Jazeera isn't what you think it is.

Depends on what their reporting and if it's coming out of their US based office or the middle east office. Watched them all the time in Iraq (we had Iraqi satellite TV) and some things they reported on just made you cringe, but if it didn't have to do with Israel they were ok. They certainly get reporters into the middle of the action better than any other new agency I've seen.

Yea, they do and the terrorists don't tend to shoot them as fast as CNN and BBC reporters either :(
They are actually a pretty good news source, especially when you want both sides of an issue, you read the western angle then the mid east angle and can generally figure out what really happened and whats really going on, more or less.

Actually the hardline extremist Muslims tend to consider Al Jazeera as a news source that promote the Zionist / Jewish agenda.
