Al-Jazeera & FOX News in Canada
response to Iris Ichishita, Lindsay Utz, Morgan Currie, Favio Claure, Patrick James, Michael Fitz, Leah Nathan, Jared Lebel, Stephanie Winkler, Seth Moherman, Don C, Robin Lynn, Erin Bosworth, , and Brian David Lazarte's post Al Jazeera English: The Image Problem
This brings to mind the controversy in Canada when the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) was considering approval of Al-Jazeera for broadcast and within following months Fox News. Comparisons were made across both sides to one sided journalism and the encouragement of extremism. Opponents for both made claims that if you allow one extreme you must allow the other. I thought it was interesting that Al-Jazeera and Fox News were painted with the same brush. Both have since been approved. Sadly Fox News has been picked up in far more locations that Al-Jazeera. Widely differing opinions are valuable only when you can hear them from both sides.
