From a business perspective, they made the stupidest mistake in the world. Anyone could have seen this.
They married themselves to the cable/satellite TV bundle scam and cut off Americans from their Internet streams. This, right at the time that millions of Americans are cutting the cord and going to Internet streaming combined with OTA antennas.
So they gained no viewers from adopting a 1980s business model all while cutting off their viewers viewing them with 21st century technology.
An anti-American network owned by the Qatari government (hostile to US in general), known basically for its mission to advance terrorist propaganda for the Intifada. Gee, I can't image why Americans failed to embrace this 'unbiased news' network.
AJ is heavily biased in its middle-east reporting and a central player in Pallywood. I've done numerous Google image searches on the pictures in their stories of various alleged Israeli "atrocities" only to find out they were recycled photos of who-knows-what, rattling around the internet for years. They posted one famous photo of what they claimed to be a Palestinian boy being kidnapped by Israeli soldiers which turned out to be an Israeli settler boy during a military operation that was dismantling a west-bank settlement. (Yes, Israel often dismantles West Bank settlements.) And they seem to get away with such disgusting propaganda every time.
If AJ is your primary source of news reporting, then you will be anti-Israel. It's no surprise the supporters of AJ in this thread are also the most anti-Israel.
My take is that you should consider all news sources to be biased and never formulate an opinion on a single source. Read as many reports as you can from all angles and formulate your own opinion.

You're free to lose your cool as much as you want.
I'll abstain...if you don't mind.

Lol...nevermind the idiot comment, but the veteran comment is ludicrous.
International news agencies shouldn't report the truth, but instead report the news so as to appease "veterans?"
To keep it real with you, that's not the brightest constituency in the audience to begin with. There's already a network in business that appeals to that group by the name of Fox.
