The best ads for Al-Jazeera are on CNN!
I love it when the title of a study is almost better than that a death metal number. This study goes: "When Blood Becomes Cheaper than a Bottle of Water: How Viewers of the English Version of Al-Jazeera Website Judge Graphic Images of Conflict". You gotta admit the first part is a kick-ass song waiting to be written.
"CNN and other Western media have abdicated their journalistic responsibility to provide balanced, objective news and have instead become a voice of the government -- not controlled by the government but controlled by the big multinational multimedia conglomerates that own them and by their own self censorship." Another respondent went further, claiming that American media is "controlled and censored by Bush and his cronies."
Fahmy said the dilemma that photo editors face of whether a graphic photo of war and conflict would be too shocking to view gathered around the breakfast table might no longer hold true in the current media environment.
"Younger audiences, especially the 'YouTube' generation, seek graphic visual images in a far different way than audiences did before the World Wide Web," Fahmy said. "This has serious implications for the news media. I think it's time for media organizations to amend their ethical codes to allow for more graphic visuals in an effort to provide a more comprehensive and realistic view of war and conflict to U.S. audiences."

New York Dolls to pay tribute to McLaren tonight in London
The New York Dolls have announced that they will pay tribute to their former manager Malcolm McLaren, who died earlier this month, during their encore at their gig at Koko in London tonight. The band will dedicate their song 'Jet Boy' to McLaren, and will be joined by a number of special guests, too. As well as this, McLaren's funeral takes place on Thursday, and the Humanade charity are asking fans to mark the occasion with a 'minute of mayhem'.
