Hillary Praises Al Jazeera for Offering "Real News"

(Huffington Post) "Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says that Al Jazeera is gaining more prominence in the U.S. because it offers "real news" -- something she said American media were falling far short of doing.

Clinton was speaking before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and she said the U.S. is losing the "information war" in the world. One of the reasons she cited for this was the quality of channels like Al Jazeera..."

...and the majority of reader comments at the bottom of the page agree with her.

And thus we must ask, "Why does Hillary hate America?"

I'm sure they'll discuss that on Fox.

Well. They have been doing a damn good job covering all of this. I truly hope that Americans realize AJ is NOT the "terrorist channel" some in this country proclaim it to be.

They were actually talking about the possibility of popular uprisings in the Arab world months ago, incidentally.
