but I too was somewhat disappointed. Yes, the build-up did not match what unfolded. The best one can say is that it may have been put together in haste with often jejune material to strike when the proverbial iron was hot. If anything this documentary gave that "human face" to an organisation often depicted as the Pravda of the Arab world. I would prefer describing it as the Fox News thereof, but Al-Jezeera is more ethno-centric, whilst Fox and its following are more paranoid.
It would be impossible to recommend THE CONTROL ROOM to anyone but the most ardent students of the "mass media." Even then, I am not sure what even undergraduates could take away.
