Al Jazeera isn't actually all that bad and it will certainly give you important information, even if from a cultural point of view I disagree with.
Scott Adams (yes the Dilbert guy; he has an interesting blog) said recently that he thinks President Bush is probably smarter than 90% of the population but that most politicians are smarter than 99% and so the difference is striking.
I don't buy the idea that Bush is stupid. I do buy into the idea that he isn't as smart as we should expect.
