4. PressTV is Iranian state news.

They can spin things but they also cover stories that no one else does.

16. Have you listenend to it?

Nothing in any way like Faux.

They are reporting this as it goes with little to no spin. Try it sometime....I remember the days when US news did that too. (Yes, I am that old.)

15. I've been listening for the past 4 days and I gotta tell you....

they spin a LOT less than US MSM...even less than AlJazeera.

Have learned a lot with all their interviews of professors, diplomats, analysts,eye witnesses from all over the world...yes, even from the USA (one professor from U of Texas- can't remember his name now darn it). I find them to be reporting facts with very much less spin....and I am old enough to remember when the US media "just reported the facts,ma'am."

They have been very careful about not putting this into Muslem/Islam spin - or anti-Israel spin. They are making it VERY clear this is all about THE PEOPLE.

8. There's been a great deal of support for America - though none is really owed, now is it? Egyptians

are looking for more support from Obama.

14. Still a fan of BBC and CNN International... this is my first time streaming Al Jazeera

They do have the best Middle East coverage, of course.

I like the BBC's global coverage.
