The Arrival of Al Jazeera in America
Center for Security Policy ^ | 21 Aug 13 | Christopher Holton

Posted on 08/21/2013 1:10:56 PM PDT by LSUfan

Thanks to Al Gore selling out his failing Current TV, Al Jazeera TV has come to America with their own cable TV network and news bureaus in several cities across the USA.

Patriotic Americans have reason to be concerned.

Al Jazeera, is an Islamist television network based out of Doha, Qatar (more on Qatar very shortly). It is one of the LEAST independent media outlets in the world. It was started by seed money provided by the emir of Qatar and is to this day owned by the Islamic state of Qatar. That same emir of Qatar at the time later became infamous for massively funding the Muslim Brotherhood around the world and also providing aid to Jihadist “rebels” in Libya and Syria.

Al Jazeera claims to be “independent,” but since when is state-owned media considered “independent?” Any US news network that was owned by the US government would be immediately and justifiably ostracized by the public and the media at large.

I heard an advertisement for them at 6:30 AM today on Philly’s “all news” radio station—and then throughout the day on other radio stations owned by the same company. I called at 6:45 AM to complain, was given an email address & followed up with an email at 7 AM. Too much work before I even had caffeine!!

My inclination is to trash the idea of al Jazerra coming to the U. S., but then we allow C. N. N., so what the heck.

Now, if we could get rid of them both... toss in MSNBC for gratis...

"Al Gorezeera". No one should ever forget the screaming hypocrisy of Gore selling Current TV for OIL money.

Hmm, Al Gore’s people couldn’t sell Current TV to Glen Beck due to their opposition to his political views. They then sell it to Al Jezzera, noted for its support for jihadis world wide, who they apparently don’t have any political conflicts with.

I saw an ad that it will be DISH Network channel 215. Probably won’t be any less accurate or anti-American than all the other MSM channels.

I won’t be any more damaging than MSNBC or CNN.

Al-Jazeera arrived in the US on 2/26/93. It came again, this time to stay on Sept.11,2001. Al Gore has proven to be the same American-hating racist his father was.

Last month the lame-duck Current had about 24,000 viewers in prime time, according to Nielsen data; Fox News had 1.3 million.

They bought ads this morning during the Quinn and Rose in the Morning Show. Proving that their media buyers are pretty much clueless.

For Viewpoint Without Eliot Spitzer and Turk the Jerk? I'm amazed it was that high.

... Al Jazeera has been incessantly advertising on KFI Los Angeles all day .... most notably during the Rush Limbaugh Show.

I just saw an Al-Jazeera America commercial on Directv. Until the last frame, I had no idea what the ad was for; it painted itself as rah-rah, wholesome, pro-American.

Unfreakingbelievable. And only twelve years after 9-11.

Heard a dam aj commercial on Rush’s station (610 wiod) here this afternoon (SFL).

This country is swirling down the drain faster each day.
