Al Jazeera not being censored at RNC as they were at DNC
Arabic news network Al Jazeera, shut out of coverage of the Democratic National Convention last month in Boston, won't have their signage eliminated at this month's Republican National Convention in New York.
"We're delighted and thrilled" the sign will be on display in Madison Square Garden, Al-Jazeera spokeswoman Stephanie Thomas said.As NewsMax pointed out today, could Al Jazeera be any more biased against the GOP than any of the alphabet networks? I doubt it. Posted by mhking at August 19, 2004 03:38 PMUSA Today reported today, "Lenny Alcivar, the convention's media spokesman, said Al-Jazeera is being treated the same as other news networks who'll set up studios in the skyboxes."

Wouldn't it be too much to hope they'd give "fair and balanced" news?

The Dems do have that worry. Maybe they should ask themselves why.
