Clinton: "Al Jazeera Is Real News"
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Al Jazeera was gaining more prominence because it offered "real news" -- something she said American media were falling far short of doing. Speaking before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Clinton said the US was losing the "information war." Other countries and global news outlets, she said, were making inroads into places like the Middle East more effectively than the United States. One of the reasons she cited for this was the quality of channels like Al Jazeera. The channel, she said, was "changing peoples' minds and attitudes. And like it or hate it, it is really effective." US news, she added, was not keeping up.
