I am pro-US and a Zionist, So I wouldn't mind that much :) LOL
My first comment was meant as a joke. Honestly you are right, they are not totally fair on middle east issues. I think the coverage of news outside the middle east is more fair, from what I can tell. I only watch Al Jazeera - English. I couldn't tell you about the other version(s).
Really not a Zionist btw, I think they (and the rest of the world) ought to stop fighting and live as one. But we all know that isn't going to happen :(
I also only watch Al Jazeera English (because my ability to speak Arabic is awful). It's really difficult to know how accurate or honest certain news sources are being about stories so distant it's near impossible to verify - Syria is a big one at the moment. Truthers only add to the confusion and disinformation.
If you're to believe some people there are NO reliable news sources in mainstream media, but I have faith in the common journalist to desire and seek the truth. The ironic thing is the same people who will call all traditional news sources fraudulent are the ones who, without hesitation, swallow the shit spewed by conspiracy channels (Alex Jones springs to mind).
I didn't know if they had other versions you might understand.
I think back in the day, news was a lot more fair before it became about making money and getting ratings. You can get straight foward details on local news, they don't blast you with opinions. It is hard to find mainstream news that is truthful. Even indie journalist will sometimes put there own spin on things.
I keep hearing about this Alex Jones guy, never anything good. I don't know him though.
Is it normal to think that the media is extremely liberal?
