Be sure to let your cable company know that you will cancel their service if they add Al Jazeera to their service.

If you don't want to watch it, don't turn to that channel. Is it going to hurt you to see another point of view?

Even if you view them as "the enemy", it's good strategy to know what your enemy is thinking and saying.

Sometimes I think the average "conservative" has more in common with an ostrich than any other animal.

Your cable bill pays for all channels, not just the ones you watch. Most sane people do not want to subsidize Al Jazeera on their cable systems for the purpose of promoting the diversity of their point of view. Their point of view is hate, murder, misogny, beheadings and torture.

Amelia, you forget that with a cable system you are paying for the programming whether you watch it or not. I would not have listened to Goebbels during WWII, I will not watch the equialent now. I don't have to jump off a bridge to know that it is not a good idea.

We have some here that are short sighted or not thinking.

Well smartguy, if this were WWII types like you would let Josef Goebbels broadcast his Third Reich lies to America. The only ostrich is you with your head up your ass.

Ah yes, Al Jazeera, the shining example of tolerance and balance, right?
And how about Air America, do you send money to them?
No?
Then why should we pay for Al Jazeera with our CABLE BILLS?
