So, Hillary Clinton thinks Al Jazeera is the only "real" news network? Well, we took a look at the top stories at Al Jazeera on 3/4/11, and here is what we found:

• Israel, Where are you?
• Till September: The PA’s meaningless deadlines
• Israeli army will cash in on Egyptian revolution
• Game over brother Muammar
• From the gulf to the ocean’: The ME is changing

So far, in this "top news" section, the game appears to be stacked against...wait for it..Israel!  Who would have guessed?

In the following section, we looked at what was even slightly more fair and balanced?

• The Iranian day of reckoning is coming
• Bring it on is changed to bring it down
• 'Our silence is a green light for Israel'
• 'U.S. policy on nuclear Iran underscores bias towards Israel'
• 'Contain and secure Israeli nuclear programme first'

So, here in the above section, we have only two negative references to either the US or Israel--or is that three?  Ok, let's try the third sidebar section, what with all of the countries in the Mideast, surely they will not be preoccupied with a peaceful yet "avowed mortal enemy."

• Yemeni army shoots protesters, kills 2
• Jordanian PM wins vote of confidence
•    Israeli bombs spread cancer in Gaza
• 'Delusional' Gathafi insists Libya loves him
• Israel rearrests Hamas lawmaker

Oh my!  In a world that rages, Hillary Clinton appears to believe that real news must apparently comprise a rather odd preoccupation with one tiny country --that being Israel--or one big country far away--that being the US.

We are certainly not surprised.  The thing does tend to speak for itself and must cause one to wonder "what" exactly is up with the Bureacrats over in the State Department.  We would also do well to remember which network the Administration appears to view as "unreal news," being inaccurate and unfairly biased.

In fact, Fox News is the antithesis to Al Jazeera, according to the Administration--but in a bad way, according to them.

To all of this we can but point out that Foxnews is , indeed, the antithesis to Al Jazeera. But, remember which network has an anti-west, anti-US and anti-Israel bias and which one does not. Taking that thought one step further, now think about the one network that is currently being praised as opposed to the one that is being intermittently vilified by the Administration.

Fascinating, huh?
