Likening Al Jazeera to the New York Times and CNN?
by Lilian Filanis

First let me say that I enjoy SITNEWS so much more now that we are having intelligent debate from people all over the world on issues in the news. For me, this makes SITNEWS more fun to read and adds perspectives I would ordinarily not get to know.

I am not a big fan of the New York Times. I don't like their politics and I like FOX News much more than CNN but there is no way you can compare those rational news outlets with Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera slants the news towards the terrorist way of looking at things and they publish and run bloody murder pictures and tapes from terrorists that likely contain messages to other terrorists. Al Jazeera should be done away with and I wish we would just send a cruise missile or two their way one of these days.  Thay are terrorists themselves.

As far as the world "hating America". One word answer - Jealousy. We make up less than 15% of the world population yet we donate more aid to other countries in need than all the rest of the world combined. We saved the world from tha Kaiser, NAZIs and Communists in the last couple of generations. Most of the Nobel prize doctors and medical life saving discoveries were made here and shared with the world. If it were not for the USA, Patrick Groszewski or his parents, whether he is Polish as his name sounds or a subject of the UK where he writes from, would be either dead or subjugated by Nazis or Communists instead of being able to write inflammatory but crazy sounding letters to SITNEWS. You are jealous Patrick Groszewski. Get a life!
