Sounds like a great way to have an idea of what they are actually saying instead of what our news media says they said. Only issue is the translation. And for the record I believe the poll should read speech but I could be wrong.

"balanced reporting", one of the poll choices is an interesting concept. I guess balanced depends on who is reporting what and what people who are watching think of that reporting. One of the reasons I like fta is because I can watch news from around the world, I think that is a good thing, if people don't want to watch.....change the channel.

 Speech it is.
Hey, I guess we FTA hobbyiests are never shy from foreign news. Heck we see it all the time. So, bring it on Al Jazeera International.

let them air it.. It cant be full of more crap then US news.. 
honestly, Ive seen too many reports that I was a witness of what actually happened and the news and courts made some stupid bs up
so, does the media reflect the whole truth? no, so you might as well let everyone tell there version of the truth..

Yes it would be very interesting to see what Al-Jazeera has to say, I have seen Al-Jazeera on DISH Networks at my friends house, nothing I cant live without and yes they are a bit bias to Arab Nationalism among other things. But the other view is always interesting, there has to be some sort of balance..

I watch the news on DW,Russia today and wherever else I can find it.
By comparing you might find the truth.We don't always get it from our networks.
