Al Jazeera being granted permission to broadcast in Canda doesn't really give that excuse much legs.

Yes it does. The CRTC simply doesn't view FOXNEWS as fundamentally different from CNN (which we already receive)

The early bird gets the worm in other words.

I disagree with the CRTC's policy of regulating licenses based on this consideration, by the way, but it's fairly consistent...

Given the charges levelled against this organisation by people more knowledgeable than I (No, I don't mean the local nursery), I'm not surprised it happens. Although, as with much of American, sorry, New Iraqi policy, I fully expect it to backfire.

So much for freedom of press. But then again no surprise there.

Coincidently the iraqi media network (or whatssits name) is completely american controled. SO no freedom of press whatsoever. I concede that in this regard the US has managed to export its model

quote: Originally posted by Oerdin There was another case about a year ago which Donald Rumsfield made a big stink about. Apparently Al Jazeera broadcast a breaking news story about a bomb going off in Mosul only... the bomb hadn't gone off yet. It went off a little under an hour later. That's right; proof that Al Jazeera knew what was coming but didn't alert the authorities to a terrorist attack thus making them complicite in the murders of several dozen people.

To be fair, if Al Jazeera broadcasted this breaking news story about a bomb going off then you can't really say they didn't alert the authorities- they did after all alert everyone in this particular case, although purely by "luck".

If they reported it before it actually went of, that pretty much proves they had advance (duh!) warning from the terrorists, and should have alerted the authorities immediately and directly, not simply slosh it out as "breaking news".

You can't distinguish one issue from the other.

They are separate incidents that have nothing to do with each other and are you saying Oerdin PERSONALLY tortured Iraqis?

monopolizing the media is certaintly not freedom and that's exactly what is being done there. cooking up a nice story to justify that is what's been always done. doesnt change the fact that freedom of media is being squashed.

it will backfire as well.
