| SUMMARY | |
| Summary | With more than fifty million viewers, Al-Jazeera is one of the most widely watched news channels in the world. And it's one of the most controversial. Set up by the eccentric Emir of Qatar, Al-Jazeera ('the island' in Arabic) quickly became a household name in the West after September 11th by delivering some of the biggest scoops in television history, including airing a taped speech from Osama bin laden. Lambasted as a mouthpiece for Al-Qaeda - its journalists have been accused of spying for everyone from Mossad to Saddam Hussein, sometimes simultaneously - now correspondent Hugh Miles uncovers the true story behind one of the Arab world's most influential media outlets. |
