Is This Article Truthful?

Aljazeera could be the most innovative news organization in the world. For good or bad, they’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s considered acceptable in media. Check out the polling feature at the bottom of this article:

What do you think about this story?
I believe it (56 % )
These are lies (37 %)
I don’t know (6 % )

It’d be nice if they also provided comment functionality on the article, but it’s a cool way to get some instant feedback on an article’s veracity.

UPDATE: As Al (heh) the commenter points out, I’ve got my Jazeeras mixed up. The innovative news organization I’m referring to is at Aljazeera.net.

    Just don’t get your Jazeeras confused:

    Aljazeera Publishing and Aljazeera.com are not associated with the controversial Arabic Satellite Channel known as Jazeera Space Channel TV station whose website is Aljazeera.net.

    Whoops, I totally did get my Jazeeras confused–thanks for clarifying.
