Tony, I think TS was not talking about Al Jazeera's presenting the other side of the coin, which would be legitimate, but about Al Jazeera's being a media platform for terrorists. They show the videos taken by terrorists to a broad public. This should be forbidden. I think there should be a consensus to not show these videos in the TV. Without the media, the terrorists could achieve nothing. But the media are those who give these criminals a voice. I fully agree with TS here. But I would include other media as well. It's a general phenomenon of modern times mass media that you can become "famous" by speaking a lot of nonsense or doing extremly bad things. Moderate voices have no chance. If you are extreme, you will be in the media.
