And yet they have purchased rights on practically every basic cable system in the US. You can’t get Fox Business News, or even Oprah Winfrey’s Network, but you get Al Jazeera tucked right in there among other “legitimate” news channels like MSNBC and CNBC and Headline News.
I skip by very quickly when surfing through. I don’t believe I have had it on more than 10 seconds at most.
About the same viewing time I give to MSNBC.
“Free Speech” also means you are free NOT to listen to it.

Notice how they highlight the fact that a lot of these “journalists” are “Emmy Award Winning.”
Pathetic.

In the utopia which some liberals dream of, you would be required to watch propaganda channels such as Al Jazeera or MSNBC. That’s their idea of free speech. They don’t believe in the freedom NOT to listen to something. Yet these same people want to censor Fox News, convinced that Fox News lies about Obama and liberals.

I have never watched Al Jazeera. I don’t think my satellite package has that channel.
Oh well. I also don’t get Oprah’s channel.

They get the all jihadist propaganda they need from CNN and MSNBC.

Well, I think Al Gore made almost as much money off of these guys as he did from Gorbull Warming.
Half a billion bucks. Not bad for a losing operation.

Do the math: $500,000,000 with 15,000 viewers=
$33,333,333.33 per viewer!
They could have paid people to watch for less.

Their miscalculation was actually thinking that people would buy antisemitism and jihad in a free marketplace!
