Aljazeera, in English

Aljazeera.net is not a bad news site, probably less biased than our press on many issues, and with better coverage of some world issues.

Aljazeera, meaning "the Island" or "the peninsula" in Arabic, is an International news network. The name refers to the Arabian Peninsula, the network's geographic origin. It's been around since 1996 and is regarded as the Fox News of the region, with some controversial content.

When Al Jazeera began broadcasting it introduced a level of freedom of speech on TV that was previously unheard of in many Arab countries. Al Jazeera presented controversial views regarding the governments of many Persian Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar.

It has claimed to be the only politically independent television station in the Middle East. However, it wasn't until late 2001 that Al Jazeera achieved worldwide recognition, when it broadcast video statements by al-Qaeda leaders. Its broadcasts are often censored by other countries but after several tries their web presence is both stable and convenient.
