Al Jazeera America Is On The Air!

[Synthaholic]

Why would I want to support such a network with my ratings?

Better still, Synth...why would YOU?

Because it's a very good news station.

Instead of watching another round-table discussion on MSNBC, or instead of watching CNN treat extremists as if they are rational media members, or instead of watching FOXNEWS twist yet another story into anti-Democrat/anti-Obama, I can watch coverage of the wildfires out west, or coverage of David Miranda being held at Heathrow for 9 hours, or any number of other actual news stories happening each day.

I highly recommend you at least stop being a Republican for a bit and open your mind to something besides FOX.

I admit to watching "The Five"
(I'm hot for Dana)
But other than that I get my news from here or my email.

AlJazeera, meanwhile, rakes in its money from Qatar - a Sharia Law based government.
No thanks

You'll support any number of corporations, even in the face of evidence of them abusing animals, polluting your children's water/air, cheating their workers, cheating on their taxes, etc.

But you won't watch a news station because of the rule of law they have in a country half a world away.

Wow.

 

[boedicca]

It's be like watching the BBC, only with familiar CNN/MSNBC/FOXNEWS faces!

They start their first newscast in 5 minutes. Find it where Current TV used to be.

No thank you.

But I bet you'll tune in all of the time.

Yeah, you had better just stick to the Republican Pravda. They'll confirm your bias.

The reaction will tell you everything you need to know about the difference between the left and the right. The right takes Al-Jazz in stride just like every other left wing network while the crazy left is still having apoplectic fits about voices on the radio and Fox news.

It's becoming a sort of truth. A post truth perhaps. Good for comparisons. Let it come and show its value.

Ropey quoted you, so I saw this gem.

The reaction in this thread proves you wrong.

 

[Katzndogz]

Has anyone on the right suggested that AJ be taken off the air or denied a broadcast license?

The left is whinnying about Fox.

You'll love AJ. They lie.

PolitiFact's Lie of the Year: 'Death panels' (December 18, 2009)

Kimberly Guilfoyle: If you log into the government's Cash for Clunkers Web site (cars.gov) from your home computer, the government can "seize all of your personal and private" information, and track your computer activity. — False (August 3, 2009)

Sarah Palin: "We're going to be looking at $8 billion a day that we're going to be pouring into foreign countries in order to import that make-up fuel that we're going to need to take the place of what we could have gotten out of the gulf." — Pants on Fire! (June 3, 2011)

Sarah Palin: "Democrats are poised now to cause this largest tax increase in U.S. history." — Pants on Fire! (August 4, 2010)

Bill O'Reilly: When White House communications director Anita Dunn said that Mao Tse-tung was "one of her favorite philosophers, only Fox News picked that up." — False (October 27, 2009)

Bill O'Reilly: "We researched to find out if anybody on Fox News had ever said you're going to jail if you don't buy health insurance. Nobody's ever said it." — Pants on Fire! (April 27, 2010)

So, what you're saying here is that you have actually researched and learned the truth about fox and based your opinion on that?

Scenario:

Little kid screws up his face and says he won't eat his peas because he doesn't like them.

Adult say, "But, you have never tasted peas. How can you know you don't like them?"

Little kid stamps his little feet and declares he does not need facts because, well, he just KNOWS he doesn't like them.

Sound familiar?

Liberals finally have their own Muslim TV station.
Put on your Burka, beat the wife, fuck your goat, praise Allah and sit back in the easy chair and enjoy, asswipe.

Why not RWer's have Fox news, one of the owners is a Muslim.

 

[Katzndogz]

The muslim interest in Fox does not control the content. Al Jazeera is somewhat different since it is wholly owned and controlled by governments ruled by sharia law.

 

[rightwinger]

Has anyone actually watched it?

I don't get it on my cable. Just curious

Here's the page with live streaming audio from Al Jazeera English, I believe.

This page used to host a live video stream, also, but that disappeared when America launched.

[Moonglow]

I watched it yesterday and today.
It seems pretty good to me.
The Documentary they had yesterday was pretty biased on Old Navy and Walmart. They have the right to not be sued by foreign workers. It is the Countries that need to change their working condition regulations and child labor laws.
I like the coverage they have on World News.

me too. same with BBC and NPR. I've worked for a radio station that had NPR on it and one that used NBC, NPR was better.
