“No. You can’t film, you can’t take pictures, or interview people.”I find myself turning to Al Jazeera as a source for news more and more. I use their iPod app day. It’s a shame Texas cannot see them for what they are, A good source for news and a throwback to when journalism was a profession.
“OK, can I ask why? And if you allow me can I explain…”
Cut off.
“No, I just expect that you will respect it.”
Clearly he didn’t want to hear anything from me.
Al Jazeera is not welcome here.

The biggest threat to bigots like Michael Lee is an educated informed public, for a country which values "freedom" so much this example should be an embarrassment , the dumbing down of Texas continues..

At the same time--in some defense of Superintendent Michael Lee--we should acknowledge that Gabriel Elizondo freely interprets many said and unsaid statements and behaviors that probably should not have been used to color this story so strongly.
Overall, Al-Jazeera's positive contributions are undeniable. Everyone should include Al-Jazeera as a regular resource but it seems likely this story was a little short of their usual standard.
