Just finished watching "Control Room," a documentary about Al Jazeera, an Arab-language news outlet. It told the story of the network, as well as the story of how the War in Iraq was managed by the U.S. military. I got the impression that Al Jazeera covered the war better than most of the U.S. news outlets. I highly recommend this movie.
And some sad news. I had forgotten that a correspondent from Al Jazeera was killed when U.S. planes bombed the station's Baghdad offices. It just reminds you of how deadly journalism can be. Very sad.
