Al-Jazeera Wins Columbia Journalism Award

    If I had seen that headline a year ago, I would have thought that Al-Jazeera had reported on so many anti-American and anti-Israeli stories that Columbia President Lee Bollinger would be grovelling at their feet and couldn't resist. 
   However, Al-Jazeera truly brought the best coverage to the Revolutions all over the Middle East.  They consistently were able to get the stories in Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia that other networks just could get, or cover as well.  Despite some of the things they have said in the past, i truly feel that they deserve being recognized by perhaps the best journalism school in the country.  In a time where soft news is the king of journalism they have truly done a great job.
