i24news "will broadcast news from the heart of Middle East," the channel said in a statement.

Good! We need this to counter the Leftist Pro-Palestine garbage touted by the MSM (as if they really support Sheria Law). I am still waiting for Glen Beck to get on the cable with his own network! He could do it! Trump should back him! And he should hire Sarah Palin and Matt Drudge! I would watch it! Maybe put some real conservatives on the air!

Apropos of nothing, Al Gore sold Current TV to Al-Jazeera.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
