I lived in Morocco from 1992-2003 and watched/saw a lot of people watch Al Jazeera (the arabic version).

Although it's possible it has improved since 2003, the Arabic version of Al Jazeera back then was even worse than Fox News in what they reported and how they reported it.

I'm fairly convinced the english version they've been cultivating is a massive coup for mind share in the US. They've done an absolutely amazing job at convincing the intelligent elite that they're an unbiased news source to be trusted. My experience is exactly the opposite.

Thank you! I can't read/speak Arabic so I have absolutely no way to verify but I definitely fell hook, line and sinker for the way they've been working on their international image.

Also, to be fair, things may have changed there since 2003, but that was the state of affairs at that time.
