Tell your friends and family. Tell anyone contemplating a DISH Network system, tell current subscribers.

The answer to unwelcome speech is MORE SPEECH, not censorship.

Hold on...
I would have a problem if the gubmint was supressing speech...but there is a differnce when private citizens (who are consumers of a product) demand something, isn't there?

I'm not joining the boycott, but Registered is only calling for a boycott, not censorship.

Just make sure everybody knows what Al Jazerah broadcasts AND that dish carries it..
To: b2stealth
I think it is good that AL-J is on the air, how else would the world see the beheadings, and hear the BS the terrorists spout?
Free speech has to be well free.

Disagree. If a nation prohibits or limits access to our stuff, we in turn should not allow their crap in our airwaves. Let them broadcast the old fashioned way via short wave if they want.
When Arab countries end the current practice of censorship then we might consider it. As long as places such as Saudi Arabia for example prohibit the selling or distribution of bibles or the sale of american magazines or broadcast of american programs then we have every right to limit their speech to our side.
In addition the audience for Al Jazeera is NOT Americans but Arabs living here who are simply perpetuating their culture and not assimilating. Mind you that I would also ban broadcasts in other languages as well as Spanish for example. They simply perpetuate the separateness and promote the balkanization of our country.
And I say this being of Latin American origin.

The Nazis would have never been given the airwaves to spew their hate, neither should these barbarians.

Oh. I thought you said CBS.
But would you (or somebody) please explain the difference between CBS and Al-Jazeera?
