Review of Control Room (2004) by Eeva N — 29 Jul 2008
What is bias? And who is biased? Rather who isn't? Here's a look at the other side of the coverage of Iraq and the Middle East, a doc on Al Jazeera's operations. Background and empathy. I will say that one thing I noticed when I was in Jordan was how our helper, Ihsan, always referenced how Israel killed babies and chilrden with their attacks on Lebanon (this was summer 06) and when you watched TV there, sure enough, they devoted a lot of airtime to graphic suffering.
And that's what was actually happening, at least one side of what was actually happening. Some of the comments by the particularly charismatic Al Jazeera reporter are prescient, with hindsight.
