FAIR AND BALANCED ARAB STYLE

In a grand attempt to steal the Fair and Balanced slogan from Fox News Channel, the Arab Cable Channel Al Jazeera has told its viewers that it will not show any of those horrid pictures of Saddam Hussein in his underware.
Al Jazeera somehow always gets tapes of Osama Bin Ladin the moment they are released and has made it a point to show live beheadings in Iraq. These beheading scenes are complete with the victim screaming horribly as a huge knife is thrust across the victim's neck until the head is sawed off. For the sane, these Al Jazeera TV specials are too awful to even watch. For the insane, they are a positive delight. It all depends on how much of Hannibal Lecter dwells in your heart.
On the other hand, Al Jazeers feels showing Saddam nearly nude in his well-deserved prison cell is just too much for its sensitive viewers to watch.
At this point we do not have to complete this article.
If you are sane, you have already gotten the message and have completed this story in your own mind. You have also made sure your rifle is in good order and you have plenty of ammunition on hand.
If you are insane, a Bush hater or just a plain run-of-the-mill left wing whack job, you are already starting to irrationalize that Fox News Channel has finally met its match when it comes to being Fair and Balanced.
