"History is written by Victors..." (Control Room)


"History is written by Victors. People like Victory, not justification, once you are victorious, that's it." - Samir Khader, Senior Producer of AL JAZEERA

Look at the poster / image above, isn't it ironic?

The film explains how Al Jazeera reported the War in Iraq. The Western government despised, criticized Al Jazeera's stand, of the waging war. Why is it that Al Jazeera only shows how poorly Iraq has been treated? and their response is, "That's the only image we have, you want us to show their attack on you (US) where are those images?" with that said, it has been inconsistent.

Its amazing how Journalist or mainly media can interfere and "Control" the situation in one "Room". Controlling, Manipulating what you see is something Media is very good at. There are various of point of views out there that show their own objectivity on how they right their news. Al Jazeera just took it to an "Eye-opening" level, where they ask themselves, "hey, all these news about the war are one sided, how bout we give our side?"

AND SO THEY DID. On a controversial note in fact.

I never once saw Sadam popped in, in this film. I remember a part of the film telling that the people of Iraq wouldn't celebrate if Sadam falls, they would most likely feel relief, and go to mosques and pray.

There's also many instances that I heard the world "liberated". My inner voice keeps screaming, "ARE YOU BLIND? DEAF? or lost your brains? these people don't know the word. Sorry to burst a bubble, but they have the most conservative culture/religion/way-of-living in the entire world and even if one SADAM HUSEIN rules over them, they always have their own god to look up to, pray over to..."

Well, that's just me...

Samir Khader, stated promising words to describe what they do in AL JAZEERA. I believe that there is a reason which we don't see, why they are famous in middle east.
