Has ANY media shown the ENTIRE OBL tape? I'm sure I can get it here on

[patricia92243]

the web, but that is not the point. Has the American public been show all of it or just clips? That is all I have seen, and from listening to more of it here on DU, it is a LOT more critical of Bush than the tiny clip they are showing. Grrr.

I hope one of the first things President Kerry will do is see about the media ownerships which promote unfairness.

U.S. officials have said the 18-minute tape – parts of which were subtitled in English – lacks an explicit threat and repeats well-worn themes. Al-Jazeera, based in Qatar, broadcast about seven minutes of it despite a U.S. State Department request to the government of Qatar to discourage the station from airing it.

Station spokesman Jihad Ali Ballout said Al-Jazeera aired what was "newsworthy and relevant."
