It is just unreal to think that a former US President candidate would turn into a treasonous snake and sell a TV network that will now broadcast pro terrorist crap into American homes 24/7. There is a reason why Al Jazerra has been rejected by every cable and satellite provider in the USA for years. That reason is because we don't want to hear what they have to say. One major cable company has already announced they will not carry the channel and hopefully all others will follow soon.

They actually don't have a terrorist agenda. Complete falsehood. They're owned by the government of Qatar (like the BBC in the UK), and Qatar is an oil-rich state with little interest in any extreme forms of Islam.

I recommend checking out their news website, it's not bad, like CNN with a focus on the Middle East.

Al-Jazeera is far better than anything we have.

There, there. Stay inside your bubble and don't let those nasty, nasty people with different opinions reach you. Seek solace in the fact that there's an entire network where peroxide blondes will tell you exactly what you want to hear, 24/7.

Not sure I'd go that far, but their news coverage of Mid East affairs is damn good.

Actually Al-Jazeera is known for being a liberal voice of freedom in the middle east, and be a counter media force to many of the oppressive state run and Islamic media stations in the area, completely disproving and overturning your point.

They bash Israel constantly and they showed propoganda tapes from terrorist groups and other varmint worldwide. If cable TV companies carry this network, they should be boycotted. Time Warner has already said "hell no" to it. OR, if they want to carry this channel, they should also carry TIN TV from Israel so Americans can get both sides of the story.

I wonder what kind of shows Al jazeera will have here in the USA. Maybe shows like:

1. Mornings with Hamas
2. Destroyed In 60 Seconds (oops, we already got that one)
3. Israel's Funniest Suicide Bomber Videos
4. Weekly Executions With The Taliban
Taliban publicly execute woman near Kabul - officials. - Video Dailymotion
