Al-Jazeera is one of most balanced news networks in the middle-east. You should see some of the other channels, all they have is talk shows with imams and whatnot shouting that the Islam is under attack by America and killing Westerners is completely justified as long as it hurts America and it goes on and on, seriously. Al-Jazeera doesn't have talk shows like these, very rarely invites radical religious leaders, in fact, all they did to piss off the U.S. was report the war in Iraq from the other side. Alot of Arab governments have bashed Al-Jazeera for being "politcally correct", pro-US or pro-Coalition, yet it remains the "tea salon" channel in big parts of the middle-east. If you want more information then I highly recommend you go see Control Room, it may be an eye-opener.
Sanjuro, Kerry clearly won all debates, there's no doubt about it, and his remark about Cheney's lesbian daughter won't change anything about that.
