The thing that a lot of media outlets like the BBC and Al Jazeera suffer from, is in a way they suffer from "pandering" to people's points of view - I cannot see Al Jazeera getting too popular if it starts giving loads of airtime to the Israelis. It also largely depends on, listening to different reports and different sides but are those different sides even truthful in the first place?
Journalists often have outside sources influencing what they do - and even when what they are doing is the right thing, governments, other people, organisations make their lives hell. Look at that Iraqi journalist lately appparently getting tortured/beaten up simply for expressing his opinion. Says so much for the apparenty "democracy" the americans (and British people for that matter) have been propogating!
