I really like Al Jazeera

Probably makes me a late arrival try hard or whatever, but it’s a refreshing tonic. The range of topics and depth it covers them in is great. It’s bias as all fuck but it’s for the right reasons. Plus Mehdi Hassan :heart:

  • I am a freewheeling cool cat who enjoys the sophisticated and informative Al Jazeera network
  • I am a stern faced conservative who likes Douglas Murray and wets the bed so I do not like Al Jazeera
  • I have no strong feelings either way but I love Al Jazeera

It makes the Brit-centric news look shallow and shit. So much stuff they report on that you never hear anywhere else (not that I have my finger particularly on the global news pulse) Channel 4 still good though.

Other than the Moonlighting theme tune I couldn’t name another one of his songs.

I like Al Jazeera but it always feels so sober and grown up so I usually skulk back to the Guardian for some batshit commentary and godawful below-the-line commenters.

I think this is in part because there are now so few global news agencies generating news stories and they’re all being fed through the same channels. :frowning:

Ah yes, this sort of thing. Depressing as fuck.

Nope. Don’t recall that one at all.

Wow, that’s completely nuts.

So this is also about Sri-Lankan internal race relations? Reading that I can’t work out if this was all handled by a team in Sri-Lanka or they’re saying the London office took the word of a biased Sri-Lankan team when handing down the punishment.
