The Control Room is on CBC Newsworld this evening. Worth watching?

I've heard good things about it, but I don't know much about it.

1. DEFINITELY worth watching!!! n/t

[tuvor]

3. Holy crap, that was fast.

Thanks for the opinion. How come, though?

[blueblitzkrieg]

5. It's just fascinating and gives you a different perspective that

American MSM will not show.

8. Great. Thanks very much! n/t

[blueblitzkrieg]

12. Sure thing!

:hi:

[phusion]

2. Absolutely.

You'll see the scene w/ the Iraqi boy, very emotional...agh. It still gives me chills.

4. It's a good film...

[autorank]

6. Great film. Shows how things cold go people-to-people. Excellent

7. Damned gloating Canadians!

Are you just rubbing it in that people in the US don't have programming like this, because Mr Murdoch wants to keep us on message?

Just joking.

Do watch. I rented it and thought it was very interesting, certainly worth getting a look at Al Jazeera that Bush doesn't want you to get.

[tuvor]

11. Ah, so it IS about Al-Jazeera.

The info on the CBC site seemed incomplete.

Seriously, is there no way for you to access foreign broadcasting?

[chookie]

13. Seriously

Maybe in some border states you can pick stuff up, but apart from a little bit of BBC, there is not much.

There may be some people who have the old kind of satellites which can get more kinda of programming, but not your average viewer.

We have a few satellite stations, Free Speech TV and World Link that might conceiveably show Control Room, but they have not as yet.

[ET Awful]

9. Yup, very much worth watching.

[uppityperson]

10. Yes, it'll show you some you won't get otherwise,

I very much appreciated seeing it. Gave me a better idea of AlJazeera and what they are doing. It was also very interesting, seeing behind the media, seeing varied news media filming the people filming what was seen (or not seen depending on your country) on tv.

[tuvor]

14. Thank you, everyone!

You've been very helpful.

unfortunately it looks like there is a problem with their video.

Here's a couple of things to chew on that go along very nicely:

The Control Room comments on this video: "OH DUDE!"

And this one is MUST SEE "Power of Nightmares"
