Al Jazeera was kicked out of the NY Stock Exchange because it showed dead American soldiers in its footage and that its footage generally had an Arab bias. I had no problem with it. NYSE is a private business and I suppose can do as they see fit. I think Al Jazeera & the other Arab networks are a major problem for us right now. We have a free press, but I'm not sure that extends to networks that have shown a pattern of serious distortion the way these networks have. Accordingly, I have no discomfort with their being denied access. I suppose it is a little like denying access to the author of any work of fiction vs. the news media.
