So far, it's not half as good as I thought it'd be, but it still beats the shit out of BBC, Sky, ITN and CNN. Yesterday it showed an actual 'gun battle' between Palestinian fighters and Israeli tanks, and the reporter (accurately) described it as a "very unequal battle". Wouldn't see that on CNN! And had a short feature about an Israeli woman (a holocaust survivor) who left Israel in disgust at the State's actions in the West Bank and Gaza. Again, not exactly Sky News fodder. Still, for all it's talk about giving "a voice to the voiceless", it's just another bourgeois news outlet, albeit one with a different agenda to the western 24 hour news stations.
