NP: al-Jazeera

[Henry M]

Absolutely!  AJ "Democracy Now" belongs in the mix, but to blindly
believe that AJ and DN provide the whole truth and nothing but the
truth, while at the same time automatically disbelieving NPR, NYT,
etc. is intellectually dishonest.  Even Fox "News" gets a story right
once in a while.
