Sure seems like an organized effort to shine a light on the media discrepancies.

And it's a welcomed site to see! It's about time that there was access to truth again. Hopefully people will wake up to the fact that our media has become an arm of the RNC, and we can get some of this turned around.

It is entitled "Control Room". An Egyptian-American director made a small time film looking at the inside processes of Al-Jazeera.

Here is a review of it:

Egyptian-American director sets out to determine Al-Jazeera's fairness
Control Room probes the people behind the station

NEW YORK: "The first casualty when war comes is truth," US Senator Hiram Johnson said in 1917. With that notion in mind, a few days before the war on Iraq was started last Spring, Egyptian-American director Jehane Noujaim gathered her filming equipment and headed to Doha, Qatar. Her mission? To get as close to the truth as possible.

"I didn't want to watch the war on my living room screen because I knew that I'd be throwing things at the television," says the Harvard graduate. "In Doha, you had Al-Jazeera, which was broadcasting to the entire Arab world, and then, a few kilometers away, you had Central Command, which was broadcasting to the Western world. So if there was any way to try and understand what's really going on, it had to be in that place."

The dissonance between the reporting in the Arab media and that in the American media struck Noujaim as a subject worthy of study. So, armed with a microphone and a camera, she set out to investigate whether Al-Jazeera practices "fair and balanced" journalism, as it claims, or it is trying to inject anti-American propaganda under the guise of "fair and balanced" journalism as the Bush administration has repeatedly claimed - just this past week, US officials have accused the station of jeopardizing American lives in Iraq with its "vicious, inaccurate and inexcusable" reports that US soldiers were terrorizing Iraqi citizens during the recent fighting in Fallujah.

"Al-Jazeera has been criticized by the US government and also by every Arab government - it was kicked out of Egypt, Jordan, Sudan, you name it," says Noujaim. "So you have to think, if they're making people upset across the world, then they must be doing something right."
