didn't they have reporters/producers that were so close to insurgents that it was difficult for the U.S. Military to separate where journalism ended and where terrorism began? The US military has killed a lot of journalists and photographers from many different news organizations around the world. These killings are often not well reported because many of the journalists are Arab stringers and the public and news organizations aren't too interested when someone besides white pretty-boy journalists die, but you can certainly find out about them online. I have seen zero indication that Al Jazeera is any worse in this regard than other major media presence in Iraq. I believe it was because that I figured that any network owned by a bunch of dictators from the Middle East wouldn't have my best interests, or the interests of the average citizen, in mind. I don't know how to understand naivete this extreme. I mean, in America, we don't have state run media. We have media that is extremely close to the government [1]. And we have media that was uncritical in the face of a government that started a war for no reason that exterminated a million people. Now, if any of our media expressed some sorrow for their failure to do their job in 2002-2003, or even remorse at the million corpses their failure abetted, that would be one thing.
