Aljazeera reports

Joseph sent me this: "Check out this report from AJE on the "underwear bomber plot". The framing from the first second of the video is done from the point of view of the American government. Notice the slow motion explosion shown 3-4 times. How is it journalism when you just mindlessly report whatever the government says, without questioning or verifying any of it? This Al Jazeera English video report could easily be a US government press release it is so one-sided and unquestioning."
