No, from your previous posts here.

You’re welcome. But, wait… Did I give an opinion? Perhaps I should have rephrased my question. Something like,

Al Jazeera . . .
Al Jazeera English, which, when you watch the entirety of something like what I just posted, objectively shows an investigative journalism into both sides of the issue, revealing fact without offering an opinion, that is severely lacking in much other US and European media.

But you've already dismissed it out of hand, assuming a particular view, after only watching 4 minutes of it. Thanks for letting us know that's where you're at.

I've offered no opinion on the piece, either. It's revealing of both sides of an important current issue, which is why I posted the link in the first place.

One can listen to both sides of a debate then form an opinion, or one can form an opinion, and refuse anything that contradicts it. I think the latter is a lethal problem now in the US, on both sides. That's why I posted the piece. It is far more objective journalism than I've seen from any other media lately on this issue.

But it's longer than a few minutes, so it requires a conscious effort to pay attention to something other than a superficial short sound bite (and no, that was not directed at you, it's a general statement regarding the piece)
