Well, everyone on the thread is cheering, but.....

With CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and Fox, having another pro-Islamic network is redundant.

Amazingly, they sometimes provided by coverage of events than MSNBC. The muzzies are less demented than the American left, so I guess that isn’t at all a surprise.

Who was their audience? Too radical and weird for the average American. The U.S. edition was not radical enough for the average muslim.

I have Verizon FIOS, and recently my enrollment came up for renewal. I specifically asked that Al Jazeera America be blocked, and they obliged. Now, that was probably a little overkill, but Verizon does have TheBlaze and OAN now both in HD.

Not trying to sell Verizon, but they are probably a little better than Time Warner or ComCast.

Awe, that was was Hillary’s favorite network. She said that when she walked down the halls and could see in other offices that they were all watching Al Jazeera. That explains a lot doesn’t it?

They’re trying to stay one step ahead of Peyton Manning’s lawyers. They are going to fail miserably.

Yep. Too much competition.

Maybe al Jazeera can do strictly classifieds, like Craigslist.

Al Jazeera was never supposed to fly anyway. It was a pure payoff/ attempt to buy influence from Democrats. Current TV was a piece of crap that was never worth $100 million.

Al Gore, the man bear pig is using all that money to dump thousands of tons of CO2 in the atmosphere of the Jets around being an a$$.
