I gained more respect for them when I saw a segment they have where they report on what other world media is showing about the war, including Al Jazeera, and how it's in stark contrast to what we see on our own news most of the time.

They didn't say it was "right or wrong", just showed what some of the 'others' around the world were reporting, and interviewed some people in the Middle East who were watching the Arab news for their war updates. Interesting.

You can say all you want about "American Propeganda" in the news, but that seemed like a fair assessment of things to me.
