Not surprising, they get some good material, stuff you won't see on other channels because it conflicts with their views. Often it's not for the squeamish. Some of the newsreels of the Israeli Army's attacks are horrific, but stations in the West don't show them for some reason.

[> [> Lie down with dogs; get up with fleas. Al Jazeera knew better and so did the other news services that showed it later. Many decided it was not news but propaganda and refrained.
