    Yes the English speaking media is very prudish when it comes to showing bodies (or bobies) compared to most spanish/italian channels.
    Also Fox et al seem to show quite happy to show deat bodies from the other side (as long as doesn't look too upsetting) - remember the fuss over the picture of the Iraqi burned trying to get out the top of the vehicle when the were butchered leaving Kuwait - it got more reaction than 10,000's of other deaths.

    Anyway Fox have stated in court that the first ammendment allows them to lie.

    Have a look at the 'About Us' link on the Aljazeera.com site, and you'll find the disclaimer below.

    NOTE: Aljazeera.com is NOT affiliated to the Qatari based Satellite Channel and website English.Aljazeera.net.

    You can't compare the site with the TV channel.

    I was talking about watching Fox News for the comedy value, not Al Jazeera. As I said, the only thing that worries me about Al Jazeera is their access to footage of people like Hamas, etc.
