The new AlJazeera. How much AlJazeera has changed under U.S. pressure and in the wake of Saudi-Qatari reconciliation. Yesterday, I watched some part of a show on Iraq: one Arab critical of the American occupation (Raed Jarrar) was invited but his view was presented as the token Arab point of view. The rest of the guests were American officials or former American officials, the former puppet ambassador of the Iraq-under-occupation, and an "expert" from the Hudson Institute.
