CNN with streaming media and other reports

Al Jazeera is the GO-TO place, of course, with other media sources crediting it with a big role in sparking the events it is covering:

[You gotta love this, though, from the NY Times:

In many ways, it is Al Jazeera’s moment — not only because of the role it has played, but also because the channel has helped to shape a narrative of popular rage against oppressive American-backed Arab governments (and against Israel) ever since its founding 15 years ago. That narrative has long been implicit in the channel’s heavy emphasis on Arab suffering and political crisis, its screaming-match talk shows, even its sensational news banners and swelling orchestral accompaniments.

Say what? Are they talking about FOX, CNN, MSNBC or Al Jazeera?]

Even Wall Street cares about what’s happening.  The DOW has fallen 1.5% from the opening bell.
