Does this mean that in a similar "cultural" exchange, that the Saudi people will be watching the 700 Club anytime soon?

Why bother -- we already have CNN which is not exactly pro-American!

Without understanding our region better, you can expect more Osama bin Ladens in the future.

"We don't want to make everyone happy," Hilal said. "We want to reach reasonable people."

READ: Without thinking like we do you will be attacked again and again.

I am not opposed to liberty or diversity. What I am opposed to is the insidious assault on our culture and civilization. That's what I see here.

One more leg up for moral relativism

And just which satellite or cable companies will pick this up and sell it as part of their package? The day I hear about this is the day we drop said service.

Hi, Billy Mays here ... OxyClean and Kaboom! will wash that nasty Al-Jazeera right off your TV screen with one wipe of the sponge. Unfortunately, you'll still have to hear me yell ... that's the price you pay

I heard Al Jazeera has a show that is modeled on Crossfire. I'd like to see it just for laughs. I seriously doubt they could have anyone on who would offend me more than Carville and Begala.

Well, I don't know. I think I'll have to check out the Al Jazeera English service. I'm always curious in the alternate perspectives, you know. I remember listening to the old Radio Moscow back in the 70's and 80's, and that was always, err, a bit more strange than anything else.

I do think Al Jazeera has done more to unite the Arab world than Nassir ever did. It's that significant of a development, and I do think we'll see some changes, politically, in the Arab world in a few decades that will trace back to Al Jazeera.

Under the expanded role of the federal government to snoop on everything, monitoring the consumption of Al-Jazeera should be a cake walk.

Ted Turner must be positively fuming about this news. CNN will probably lose about 20% of its viewers.

spokesman Jihad Ali Ballout. "But money is not of paramount importance. We believe we have a mission."

And just what do you think Jihad's mission is?

Since CNN and MSNBC are tanking, al-Jazeera is looking to move into their market.
