Do you have links for the AJ stories regarding the 20% missing oil and their critique of Arabic language's current state? I couldn't find them on Google. Than

  With much gusto :-) I subscribe to al-Jazeera and listen to their podcasts. If you speak Arabic, here are the "Op-Ed" episodes (they're both transcribed, so paste into translator if you don't speak Arabic): The realities of the Arabic Language واقع اللغة العربية http://www.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/E85691E0-6E17-4941-B7A4-29D800E3AEAC http://www.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/E85691E0-6E17-4941-B7A4-2... I'm trying to remember which program had the expose on oil revenues. Give me a few more minutes. Update: Here is another episode (not the one I have in mind) largely devoted to bad-mouthing their sponsor: The Gulf Cooperation Council and the steps toward reform. http://www.aljazeera.net/channel/archive/archive?ArchiveId=1031905 http://www.aljazeera.net/channel/archive/archive?ArchiveId=1... In fact, typing the few keywords into their site's search returns overwhelming results of content critical of the Qatari crown.

    P.S. If you're interested in tracking al-Jazeera and mideast media in general, I can scrape program titles and headline from the last 5 years and run that through a translation API. It's very prophetic of Al Jazeera to broadcast a program titled "Why don't the Arab masses rise up and revolt against the regimes" less than 2 months ago.
