Q: What's the difference between CNN and Al-Jazeera?

Al-Jazeera shows them landing.

5. Well...
CNN shows them landing with a wide angle, from far away.

Al-Jazeera shows what happens when they land.

Don't forget, Americans like to see things blow up.

We just don't like to know that bad things happen when things blow up.

14. You could be right
but the CIA was being reformed during the Reagan and Bush I years and they would follow the lead dog without much argument.

7. CNN makes the missiles look like glowing basketballs
Edited on Tue Nov-16-04 06:22 PM by progressiveBadger
Al-Jazeera makes our war in Iraq look like a glowing failure. So I guess the difference is that CNN lies.

9. Al-Jazeera doesn't
Al-Jazeera doesn't have to purchase Candy Crowley's wardrobe at the DC tent and awning company or have to provide her a box of krispy kreme donuts per hour.
