Boycott DishNetwork and Al-jazeera. Cancel premium channels and pay-for-view

Posted on 07/22/2004 6:05:48 PM PDT by mediaright2005

Al-jazeera as most of us know is an Arabic satellite news channel that provides the world with vulgar anti-American propoganda. Did you know DishNetwork makes al-jazeera available right here in the USA? If you have DishNetwork, cancel service. If you live in a rural area and must have satellite TV, at least cancel HBO or premium packages and pay-for-view. Call your provider and TELL them of your actions. Free speech- YES! Economic boycotts of greedy enablers who provide seditionist garbage from abroad is FREE SPEECH!!

I have my new VKitty on my lap right now. Poor stray showed up in the dog yard, we guess about 8 weeks old... and deaf.

I am training her paws for the zot key. She will have to learn how to read since she cant hear the thunder before the zot...

Al-Jazeera? Here in the United States?

You meant to say PBS, didn't you?

When I think of vulgar, anti-American propaganda, PBS usually comes to mind.

Lol what?

I think the fact is that they come from a culture in the middle east where two points of view can't be represented. Their not prepared to back themselves up, half of the articles i read were ALL CRAP. They were very biased (of course), and they werent prepared to back any of their lies up because their not used to havening to do that. Quite frankly, I dont think they care/want to show my point of view to their readers.

Like I said, they consider you a troll. Reason and facts mean nothing to some people. You are casting pearls before swine. (I didn't say LOL, by the way.)

I have Dish and love it. They provide international programming from all over the world. Every once in a while I venture over to LINK and see what the dark side (the lefties) is up to and they will sometimes broadcast Al Jazeera news. The thing is after watching it you realize just how off the wall and outlandish it is.

I'm certain you mean well...but IMHO there is nothing wrong with supplying AlJazeera via satellite. In fact, if it were available with the audio translated into english I would love to see what the enemy is up to.

That said, I would rather have Direct TV than dish... just seems right to spend my money with Murdoch since he gave us Fox news to enjoy...

BTW... for those living in the boonies the new WildBlue KA 2-way satellite (bent-pipe w spot beams) internet bird was launched this week and sometime after the first of the year they will start offering service... should be cool for 50$ a mo... and you will be able to get direct tv or Dish on the same rig so no need for 2 dishes. won't be as good as dsl or cable modem but it should be very close.

You have a good point in saying that i was casting pearls before swine. The fact is that MILLIONS of people in the middle east subscribe to and watch this network thinking that it is factual. The truth needs to get out their, many of their articles called Bush a "racist" that hates Muslims, when in fact he told us Americans that it wasn't anything to do with the Muslim religion at all. These people are lying and leading innocent people down the wrong direction and it is sickening. I didnt think I was going to get anywhere with the emails I wrote, i was just so disqusted that I had to say something to them.

I've been around (and around and around .... with all the Trolls today). :^D

I find a live one (am even stoopid enough to reply to it...) and it wont come out to play

That kind of defines the nature of the Trolls, doesn't it? It'll be toast in short order, I bet.

I don't know the terms troll, zot- but I can guess and YES you are probably right if you think I am just a guy trying to spread a message- YES I am. I posted at 6 or 7 sites that I thought may be tuned in to something like this. I do not work for a DishNetwork competitor, I don't like the fact that ANYONE profits from beaming this bilge into America. I am sure Zacarias Moussoui was a happy al-
jazeera subscriber..
If you can't give up the dish (or if your cable company carries al jazeera) why not cut off your premium service for a few months or boycott pay-for-view and tell them you don't like them providing terroristic garbage?
Free Speech questions? Get real. This is not about gov't censorship,this is like boycotting a C-store that sells barnyard porno. Actually al-jazeera is probably less healthy and more dangerous than barnyard porno..
Opinions, debate, ideas SURE,,Treasonous filth from enemy nations- I ain't buying!

Let me guess, this is most likely all a plot by the Joooz?

No, silly - by the Juws.

I have watched the "enemy" on DishNetwork when I had it 2 yrs ago. It was something called FreeSpeechTV or something to that effect. Actually it was free speech TV for the far left and featured crap shows affiliated w/ Pacifica and Democracy Now..
Sure, no one in America would "break Al Jazeeras bank" with a boycott. Would you like one red dime going to these bastards? Not me..

As you can see from the responses to your post, many on Free Republic are not that highly principled. Duty, honor, country? They'd say "forget about it" and "pass me another beer. Yuk! Yuk!"

I applaud your efforts.
