A BBC News Editor leaves for Al-Jazeera, so his colleagues create a leaving video for him, which then gets leaked on internet. It was leaked by one of the BBC staff, and the BBC bosses are not happy.
Personally, I'm just glad the BBC staff still have a sense of humour.

I'll check it out later, but that guy's such an idiot for leaving for Al-Jazeera.

The new English Al-Jazeera channel things have some very respectable journalists signed up to host.
Like Sir David Frost who's being doing British news since the early 1960's. I think it may differ greatly from the arabic version. Do you expect respectable people like this to get involved in a propaganda channel?
I'm not saying it wont be biased, it will most likely will. But no way near as biased as the Arabic one.
Not saying i would watch it, i probably wont (Unless there is something special on)

Maybe you are the one's who are a little biased about Al-jazeera, because it doesn't share the 'western perspective' on the world? Anyway, the movie is funny, although that is some horrible singing

Uh-huh. Yeah, that's right. It's only because they don't share the "western perspective" that we have
