Explain why it's ludicrous. Every time I've been overseas and there was some kind of anti-American, pro-extremist propaganda being perpetuated by a news source, it always had an Al-Jazeera watermark in the bottom right-hand corner. It didn't matter which Middle Eastern country I was in. To keep it real with YOU, Al-Jazeera is heavily biased to extremist organizations and they really don't like Americans...therefore making them an unreliable source as far as facts are concerned.
"International news agencies shouldn't report the truth, but instead report the news so as to appease veterans?" I wasn't suggesting news sources should produce reports appealing to veterans. There are various news sources that are biased in their own right, and that's fine. I have a PERSONAL issue with Al-Jazeera because of past experiences, and if you're an American you shouldn't support that outlet. Point-blank period.
Your last sentence proves you to be what I suspected you were...a lemming.
Maybe what you see as anti-American propaganda is actually a dose of truth telling that's a bit too much for you to handle.
People in the Middle East see us as bad actors on their worst behavior. Please tell me how such a description is inaccurate relative to the Middle East given our shenanigans over there. Who invaded Iraq? Who props up a crooked Saudi royal family? Who fomented the Iran-Iraq War? Who armed the Mujihadeen when it was convenient? Who propped up several Middle Eastern dictators? Who financed and trained the SAVAK?
Go ahead and tell us all why they were bad? Because they informed us about what actually was happening in the Middle East?
Sorry for the truth.
I didn't say if they were good or bad, just that simply the majority of the country disagreed with DD's views on the station, proven by their low viewership, and ultimate cancellation.
I'll tell you what you already know...none of these people criticising the network have ever seen it. Not even once.
The problem with Al Jazeera for its critics is their name and origins. The criticism has nothing to do with the actual reporting, which is impeccable.
But like I said...I'm sure you already knew that much.
Agreed. The bigots judge by the name and where it's coming from. Which makes it even more laughable. They have no idea that Qatar is Americas puppet.
Hillary ran guns through there for a reason.

Americans like boutique news. They claim to like unbiased news sources, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Americans DEMAND biased news, and any organization not delivering it won't last in this market.
Some people seemingly derive joy from that fact, but in truth, it's sad as all hell.
If that network is anti-American, then it damn sure doesn't belong in these United States.
