I am just questioning the motivation of AlJazeera. I used the word propaganda after reviewing the videos and headlines/content on their english page (which doesn't differentiate editorials from news).
Some headlines off their main page :
Gaza Tragedy: Almost 1000 Martyrs, 4525 Wounded //the number of hamas fighters out of 1000 is not given
Israel hitting Lebanon with rocket fire //its obvious they are responding to rockets
Gaza now Israeli weapons testing lab?
The Afghan scam
Ahmadinajad’s Christmas message
Can there be any doubt who the real terrorists are?
So what have Gazans got to complain about?
What is Israel's goal in Gaza?
Fighting Within
Obama v. Washington mythmaking
There are a few balanced headlines but they are the minority. I also noticed they specifically chose unflattering pictures of Western government/military representatives. They even devote a section to conspiracy theories on the main page.. come on.
I am not just some spammer i read the site a lot and wanted to offer my view on why they are going with creative commons. Call it a conspiracy theory if you wish.
Unless it's mandatory to, verbally or with text, say what the footage shown is about there is no way to know what is going on. Context is important especially with highly emotional footage of the Israel/Gaza conflict, a good example is the video seen on Liveleak of a Hamas military parade where a truck carrying rockets exploded, it was said to be an attack by Israel but in fact was later found out to be an accident by Hamas.
Giving support to Creative Commons licensing is nice to see but not for spiteful reasons.
