I'm not as confused as you think. Maybe I misworded my explanation. Media in it's essance is to be as impartial as humanly possibly. Internet forum poster don't need to be. I understand all that.
Western media does have an agenda, but what's to say eastern media doesn't have their own agenda as well? Whether they do or don't is beside the point. We as readers understand (or should) that media is slanted depending on location, demographic, religious or government affiliation etc. Perhaps there needs to be more regulation of media, especially in the west but that's a discussion for another thread.
Bias isn't negative if it biased toward truth and moral goodness. That could be true, if a person's beliefs reflect truth and moral goodness for everyone. But they don't, people believe what they want to believe.

As a Muslim
As an Arabic
As a guy one of his best friends lost his brother in this coflict and he was 16 only
And
As a father of 3 kids
Trust me you can't feel it unless you have kids
Yes its easier for non-muslims and non-arabic to feel how deep is the pain
I can't be neutral to be smart in the others opinion

That's true, but in reality Al Jazeera English IS more objective than all the media outlets I have seen on this issue, except perhaps the BBC. Al Jazeera English presents both points of views, interviews a fair number of people from both sides of the street, and presents the matter as it is. Whether or not our media has other matters to worry about (that shouldn't be an excuse) doesn't matter, as they should still present both sides, but they don't. And that's why the sheeople are always fooled by it.
What we have to do is gather all the info from all the sources we can and base our opinions accordingly, sifting through bullshit.
On a related matter, it's really laughable how MSNBC uses Obama's "Change" slogan to advertise their programs. The channel was basically an Obama cheerleader, which is somewhat scary. People are in a daze and can't think things through clearly because of it.
There you go. It is indeed hard to prove a genocide, but numbers do speak for themselves sometimes. Using white phosphorus for instance in an urban area is like walking into a mall blindfolded with an AK. The bullets are blind.

Al Jazeera's election coverage was very well done.
I don't have a television in my room so I haven't been watching much news. Have had to resort to the ancient method of reading. So I haven't seen much televised news at all.
A lot of people don't realize something about these "white phosphorous" explosives. Phosphorous makes the explosives much more efficient, you know they burn hotter, etc, I think most people get that. Phosphorous weapons have been in use since at least WWII. Which is kind of sad considering the issue is only just now becoming seriously looked at.

Where do I get it? I usually just surf from www.(insertmediaoutlet).com to www.(insertmediaoutlet).com.
I specifically stated in that very post that I thought you weren't.
Man, there should be a rule against intentionally misunderstanding posts on this forum. Why are you deliberately missing the point, Andy?
What I said was that you used the very same phrases, the very same ideas even, that Adolf Hitler proposed back before WWII.
My question was if you were willing to do that. But I guess you are.
