Re: free speech,free information

Now here's food for thought:for a unbiased insight into Arabic-speaking nations,or Islamic countries,would you need to watch Al-Jazeera?
Are "Western" media truthfully reporting on what's happening in those countries?
Are conflicts worldwide equally reported on,or just those conflicts that happen to be thought of as "newsworthy"?E.g. Africa is rife with conflict that isn't
always,or let's say,SELDOM,reported on.
Or have we gotte a bit used to 'rebels','insurgents',government troops',etc.
Would some wars provoke public outcry sooner,if more atrocities were shown?
Remember,cluster bombs,landmines,child soldiers:it's still happening......
