The idea that Al-J is some sort of sensationalist media outlet is slightly ridiculous when you consider how many of their staff are formerly of news organisations such as BBC, CNN, CBS and so on from a time when those organisations were producing decent journalism (unlike today).
Given the listed news organizations have been producing sensationalist crap for over 30 years, those guys must be close to retirement...

When I was young and naive I thought TV news was gospel - then I started watching some "in depth" reporting (e.g. CBS 60 Minutes) on subjects that I had first hand knowledge. Without exception it was sensationalist, biased crap. Everybody on TV has an agenda, and if the facts don't fit the agenda, they just leave them out (and often make up new 'facts').
