Agree on the audience thing. However, for someone in the US to not be critical of these organizations because of their implicit and sometimes even explicit support for terrorists would be irresponsible.

I understand that they have selected their audience and are catering to it. You'd just hope that they'd be more responsible in choosing which messages to promote.

I've heard plenty of discussion about these guys -- even went to a talk given by MSNBC's Bob Arnot about these guys. One of his points was that they claim that they are essentially fair in their reporting if you take for granted that Israel has no right to exist (among other things).

I think we need to be critical of these guys because they advocate or give a platform for people to advocate violence against Americans, against the West, and against anyone that disagrees with their narrow view of the world. Honestly, I just don't think it's responsible journalism.
