Barack Obama’s speech in Cairo. “Watch, he’s about to announce he’s converted to Islam,” joked one of them.

We already knew that his Christian thing was just a put on.

Now it has overcome perceptions of bias.

Really? Since when? Says who?

I call that statement absolute Bravo Sierra.

> “The transition from the Bush era to the Obama era has changed the game dramatically,” says Tony Burman, managing director of Al Jazeera English (or AJE). “As America reengages with the wider world, the appetite for more international news is there.”<

That’s the problem there for these “internationalists”. They dont know how America thinks. Americans in general, want to hear good stories about their own country. Americans in “general” dont care about what happens in Turkey, unless it affects us head on.

When you have a news network that sounds like a terrorist network, you wont get any viewers from Middle America. Now try having one of these reporters talk to a farmer in Iowa and let’s see. I can get my “hate America’ international news from CNN.

Oh, so it's got the same problem as every other MSM news outlet...

On July 1 Al Jazeera English will begin broadcasting in Washington, D.C.

Interesting choice of venue...

...in the U.S. Al Jazeera is presumed to be biased against the U.S. and western Europe.

Seems they've got a level playing field then. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, etc. all share similar, obvious biases.

Middle East news giant Al Jazeera has gained its first big foothold in the U.S. TV market. Now it has to overcome perceptions of bias.

As "Johnny" from the movie Airplane! might say, "Just like ABC."

Unless he’s on opposite Rush, you can bet your sweet bippy that I’ll be tuning into the Baghdad Bob Show on a daily basis. LOL!

Months ago a Muslim “gentleman” who owned a Muslim oriented television network somewhere on the East Coast of the US removed his wife’s head rather than allow her a divorce.

Yes Sir, there is an “image” problem.

"Will Americans Tune To Al Jazeera?"

Answer in a nutshell.....Yes!

And the Obama administration will try to make it "Cool" to tune in to!!! Kinda like the Liberals answer to Fox News.

Some may laugh at that comment, but I am half serious!

This country is in deep doo-doo with the liberals approaching almost absolute power while turning their faces away from the Constitution which was once considered the supreme law of the land! Now that same Constitution is considered as the cornerstone of the thing that needs changing the most.
