I have mixed feelings about this. Any news about bitcoins spreading around is good but Al Jazeera has a very bad anti-American reputatation. They went out of their way to tell the terrorist side of the story in Iraq and as an anonymous currency it isn't a good idea to associate with that kind of thing. As a libertarian I know drugs should be legal so things like silk road are okay but there should be a way to root out other criminal groups who try and use bitcoin.

You sir, are a racist piece of shit, and ignorant to boot. The largest news network in the world is "anti-American"? Idiot...

Regardless of whether or not I personally believe it has an anti-American bias, that's what the public perceives it to be. Also, since when does size mean anything? Fox News is absolutely massive yet has a noted right-wing bias. Size doesn't equal objectivity.

Don't compare Al Jazeera to Fox News, compare it to the Associated Press...it is the main conduit for news media in the eastern world. Size does matter when you view it in context.
