Qatar's Al-Jazeera network is one of the few non-state controlled (read: independent) news organizations in the Arab world, where tight control of the media by the state is the rule and not the exception. You have to remember that they're showing the news with a distinctively pro-Arab slant (it ain't the BBC), which does tend to run with an anti-American bias. Much like (and DeltAlum, correct me if I'm wrong) the US feed of CNN which shows news items from an American point of view, though they do have an International channel).

Al-Jazeera does have an English-language news page (it was only available in Arabic previously, which I can't read, speak or understand); the website is pretty popular so it's kinda tough to get in... I'll post the link when I finally get on.

Mind you, I don't get my news strictly from Al-Jazeera; I prefer checking out several news sites and compare information before making my own decisions.
