The number of viewers tuning into Al Jazeera America is on par with public access programing, drawing an average audience of 13,000 a day despite its availability to millions of American cable subscribers.

That's according to the New York Post, which notes the U.S. ratings of the Middle Eastern-based news agency are so low, Nielsen doesn't consider it important enough to report.

Al Jazeera America purchased the channel space from Al Gore after the former vice president's Current TV project failed. Al Jazeera pulls in just half the ratings of Gore's venture, although it is available to 44 million American households.

I imagine a large percentage of the 13,000 are inside the DC Beltway.
And many of those inside the White House.

despite millions of American cable subscribers being forced to help pay to carry the channel when they don't even want it.

I have this channel intentionally blocked.
I do not want it.

A lot of us still remember al Jazeera from the Iraq days. Not fondly. Maybe a new brand?

A fledgeling failure as many of us expected. Unfortunately, Middle East oil money will keep it going regardless of no viewers.

Mark my words.

In ten to twenty years Al Jazeera News will be one of the most watched news stations as millions of leftist educated Muslim Americans tune in daily.

Like Judea, followed her sister Samaria into captivity by becoming as immoral and evil as she was, so too will America follow our sister European Nations into ruin. Like Europe, America will one day see the largest percent of her citizens professing Islam.

The 13,000 viewers are probably mostly liberals who probably consider themselves “tolerant” for listening to Islamic propaganda.

Then what will Glenn Beck name it? I’m sure he’s not going to retain the name, Al Jazeera if he does.

Hmmmm. I wonder if Al Gorzeera might work instead? You know, use some SYNERGY! Doesn’t SYNERGY always help?

There are 2.8 million mohammedans in the US. Less than half of 1% of them are watching.
