[EL] Al Jazeera America article on voter suppression

[George Korbel]

So Dr Maurer what is your point.    

I suspect the same could be said about Fox, the New York Times, Bloomberg, nbc cbs abc etc.  

There is no pretense about democracy in private ownership. 

 In our democracy we are lucky to have a pesky first amendment that encourages points of view by including foreign nationals from Fox to AJ.  Even Dr Moon's point of view has a place at the table. 

Actually AJ has a level of excellence in world coverage that puts all to shame. Does AJ have a point of view as the others-- of course. That is what Democracy fosters.   And aren't we lucky.
