Obama administration official urges cable companies to carry Al-Jazeera
American Thinker ^ | February 14, 2011 | Ed Lasky

Posted on 02/14/2011 9:19:53 AM PST by jazusamo

AL Jazeera is filled with anti-American propaganda. It is also awash in anti-Semitism. The material broadcast stokes terror and violence.

Why would the person who Barack Obama appointed to be the Assistant Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, Juliette Kayyem, advocate American cable companies carry the channel-a channel that cannot help but inflame tensions and anger and one that is not known for unbiased accuracy.

From an op-ed by Kayyem in the Boston Globe:

FOR THE past few weeks, a parallel plot line to the revolutions in the Arab world has been playing out in the media. With rare exceptions, the largest American cable and satellite providers simply do not provide viewers access to Al Jazeera English, the cousin to the powerful Qatar-based world news network. AJE has launched a full-fledged campaign - including advertisements quoting, of all people, major US news figures - to convince cable carriers to open their programming. But most have declined: Burlington, Vt., is the closest city to Boston where viewers can see the network on television.

AJE's battle with the cable carriers is major news in the Middle East. Not carrying the network sends a message to the Arab world about America's willingness to accept information, unfiltered, from the very region we spend so much time talking about. These television wars began not in Tunisia or Egypt, but in Iraq.

We have enough terror apologists in the media already without an entire station devoted to obscuring the truth being beamed into America's homes.

I refuse to pay for cable until companies allow consumers to pick the channels they want and ONLY provide those selections.

The more I learn about Islam, dimmitude, jihad,etc., the more Obama lines up with it.

“Do you really have to ask why?”

Ahhh, let’s see, just because the whole administration is totally un-American and therefore would love to see us slammed at every chance? Huh?

If this were to come to pass, every true American (note that means non-muslims also) should drop their Sat or Cable service.

There is no way on earth that I want anymore of my money used to support the 7th century sand monkey pedophile lovers.

It is bad enough our communist infiltrated State Dept. (McCarthy was right) gives funds around the world to repair mudslime mosque minarets for their fake religion (hate cult).

If the FCC succeeds in regulating the airwaves, cable TV and the Internet, our only choices might be NPR, a Government propaganda channel and Al Jazeera. What ever happened to market demand? I’m sure Al Jazeera would have even lower ratings than MSMBC.

Amen!

It seems the vast majority of cable companies are still very much aware of market demand to the dismay of our muzzie president and DHS flunkie Kayyem.

Greta was promoting it on her blog one day, and a few days later, she tried to get people to link to the Muslim Brotherhood page...

...of Lebanese descent, she’s the only Arab-American in charge of homeland security at the state level.

That's one mudslime too damned many!

Why? Why, indeed!!

Because she is a Muslim and agrees with it, that's why. And her boss, Obama, even if he is not a full Muslim (and he may well be) is a strong sympathizer of the Muslim goals in the Mideast.

In a stunning turnabout, America has joined the Muslim Caliphate on their side of the War...

Besides everything else, why can’t Obambi and this administration get it through its thick skull that the MARKET should determine these kinds of decisions?

Strange, al-Jazeera is close to Hamas.
