    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.
