>That certainly explains your perspective then. I watch it as well but there have been some stories presented as reporting the news which were extremely slanted towards one side and in some cases left out the other side completely. I only know this because I know people personally who were onsite or involved in the story and heard their views personally. Now I am well aware that many other (well most) news organizations do the same thing. They go for the human interest or the slant which will gain them the most shock value and up the ratings. Al jazeera is hardly alone in that, and you may be right, they may do it less often than others, but they are still not a completely objective and non-partisan news agency.

>In my personal experience, if you discount immigration entirely, then Univision is the most non-partisan and equal sided news source I've watched.

I don't know what to tell you. Perhaps only subject where I would have
reserves is Israel/Palestine issue, just as I would have reserve watching
Israely news reports. Other then that far better then CNN any day.

I don't receive that UniVision channel , perhaps is good if you recommend it :)

>>>I have watched a lot of the English version of Al Jazeera and their printed news as well. I will agree that they do seem fairly independent, but their stories are almost always slanted.
