Aljazeera

"Al Jazeera, the satellite-television channel that shapes perceptions across the Arab world".  Quite inaccurate.  The channel never ever shaped perceptions: it merely reflected them and articulated them.  And as the channel has now become the voice of the Arab (and NATO) counter-revolution, its influence will wane, although it may still be most watched news channel given the competition (or lack thereof).
