The Daily Mirror is an anti-American tabloid. What a joke.

Whiskey, there are many intelligent, knowledgeable analysts and commentators out there whose informed opinion is that Al Jazeera is a propaganda organ for Al Qaeda and other pro-islamist/anti-American players (they do vary in their opinion as to the extent to which (and whether) they have been penetrated/co-opted by islamic terrorists, or are merely pandering to this constituency.

Even when you filter out the right-wing nuts, zionists, and other non-disinterested commentators, you will find many intelligent, reasonable, and well-informed people who have come to the conclusion stated above.

True, reasonable people can disagree here. But those that disagree shouldn' summarily be dismissed as being full of [censored]

Please identify a single "intelligent, knowledgeable" analyst or commentator that believes that Al Jazzera has been "penetrated/co-opted" by "islamic terrorists".

They don't attempt to hide that they are pro-islam (maybe pro-islamist) and anti-American. Media in general is not unbiased.

But they i.e. don't delete this comment from a US IP-address:

Yes, the US still has a few friends left, must be a sign of weakness. I think Zipo is right that tougher measures are necessary, don't let the moderates free ride.

That is from aljazeera.com, the website of an English language magazine. In the "About Us" section of their site they clearly state they have no connection with the TV station. Indeed I remember reading something about the TV station suing them over the url. The English-language website of al-Jazeera the satellite TV station is english.aljazeera.net
