For over a year now, I have relied upon the internet for news. It may well be unedited, but 4 me that is an advantage. U r presented with raw opinion from real people.Sure some is whacky, but most is sincere.I would go further, the internet has become a very significant force when it comes 2 government corruption & deceipt. This has led 2 the emergence of an awakening accross the globe with many more people taking responsibility & speaking out. Is this why the internet is now under threat.

That's a false dichotomy - good journalism and citizen journalism. Certainly there is citizen journalism and corporate or nonprofit, but mainstream journalism has a lot of inherent and case specific flaws. In any case really good story. I watched the whole thing, very relevant and well done. Thanks.

The fact is that The Cable companies and older americans who see Aljazeera just see sound bits and those are scare tactics, ment to worry us, Aljazeera English BBC World Sky news and any Public broadcast channel from Europe or Australlia is way better then USA media, Our media wants to isolate us from the world around us, maybe thats why I go crazy when I see International TV in the rest of the world, People are more better educated that way, and close down every cable channel and carry AJE yes!

Yes, Al Jazeera took corporate news media to a whole different level. The quality of reporting flies in the face of all 30 second sound bite news from most networks. Much of it almost borders on academic. However, I hope that the organisatio stays close to its original mandate and doesn't grow too big for its boots. It already is branching out into more channels: documentary, sport and suchlike. Anyway, at the moment it has an extremely positive contribution!

LAUGHABLE!This issue is one of access. It is NOT one of who is a "Journalist"...The world is getting smaller and it's getting much more open. Some may doubt that & insist that there exist lies and misinterpretations. But this is perception. Why is the fighting in Gaza between Hamas & Fata covered by the BBC and not here on Al Jazeera today? (August 2)Filtering exists even where we would like to believe it does not. And filtering the news is the same as a lie by omission.
