Al-Jazeera

[Union_Jack_1972]

Well by now most if not all of you have read or heard about Al-Jazeera buyin' Current Tv. Now I am going to say I have no problem with their purchase, and welcome the new News Station, but many on the right will most likely disagree with me. Those on the right that do most likely never watched a Al-Jazeera news broadcast, and have formed their opinion based on what Rightwing Radio, Fox, and Right leaning blogs have told them, and if so then your opinion is based on ignorance.

Al-Jazeera is from Doha, and backed backed by the Qatar government and broadcast from locations like London, and Beruit. So the thought of Al-Jazeera is a terrorist news source, and support terrorism is based on political spin and lies, and some of you are stupid enough to believe it just like the WMD lie.

If you believe Al-Jazeera is built to lie, and skew the news then why not watch a broadcast in English?

If you believe that Al-Jazeera is sexist then explain why they hire women, and do not require to cover their face while reporting the news?

The nonsense about Al-Jazeera is a joke, and those that spew fear of the News org need to watch Al-Jazeera a few times. But I bet you will not and wait for talk radio, Hannity, or some blogger tell you what to think.

Also Time Warner will drop the current Tv channel because their contract was with Current TV and not Al-Jazeera. Now that should make some of you happy but let see if Dish and Direct TV will drop the station, and if not then Al-Jazeera will still have a massive market and I welcome it.

Now some of you might respond with negative remarks. Some of you might call me a terroist lover. Well I support freedom of Speech, and Al-Jazeera has a right to show their news here just like Fox, and if you disagree then shouldn't we pull the plug on MSNBC, Fox, and talk radio, and if not then leave Al-Jazeera alone.

Also some of you may not realize Al-Jazeera is already shown on stations like Link TV, so they're already here and the purchase of Current just give them a chance to broadcast to more people than what they do now.

Finally, if you do not like Al-Jazeer, well you do know you have many other channels you can view. Al-Jazeera will not be the only News Source, so turn it off. I feel some of you are afraid that Americans will discover Muslims are not bad, and the ignorance and hate the right pushes will be killed by allowing Americans to view the Muslim world without the right hate spin on it.

So again I welcome Al-Jazeera, and I will watch it because I am liberal minded and open minded, but I am sure many on the right will scream hell no, and chant what Sean Hannity tell'em...

Thank you, and have a Great and Wonderful day, and just for a kick, May Allah Bless You, oh Allah is God if you did not know, and this blessing is from a Jew...:tinfoil3:

Al Jazeera has had to fall into line with the USA, since Qatar became a part of the 'establishment'.

The Politics of Qatar is a complex one since they have no actual strength of their own diplomacy is all. As one who has watched it for many years I have noticed the change soooooo even with them one must learn to read between the lines.

That said, the people of America have to begin to accept that they are only a part of the whole, the whole which is ever changing and perhaps by watching, even a slanted view of, an other side of the argument, maybe it will drag it's self out of the 19th century and into the 21st. Lets hope so ................for every ones sake.

 

[Union_Jack_1972]

They're not stuck in the 19th century my dear but instead in the 1950's with their McCarthyist view point on things. Also Al-Jazeera is less slanted than let say Fox, MSNBC, or CNN which I watch. So Al-Jazeera news slant to the Muslim community and focus on other things than U.S. politics and culture is a good thing for this society.

The ignorance about Al-Jazeera is appauling to me, but what should I expect from a society that support Tea Party radicals, and still believe in the ghost of Communism...

I am not arguing against Al Jazeera, it will be a breath of fresh air next to Fox and allow for a more open minded people. Dear God we should all at least know who is being murdered in our name.

1950s ? well what age was the 50s stuck in ? ;-)

In it's beginning it had more Independence than it does now, from Qatar Gov, or rather the Gov has changed it's allegiance since Libya is all I am saying. It is far more careful in it's criticism of the West than it was. It was a subtle change at first now there are many things it does not (is not allowed to?) say and I am sure that it will be far more careful in the USA it's self. So yes it is a step in the right direction but it is not as free as we would wish.

Ummm, let do the math... if you take 2013 - 1953 it will equal 60 years, so if I minus 60 years from 1953 it would put me in the 1800's, so nooo I can not agree with that, so let say the 1920's!?!

Yeah, because if I agree that the 1950's McCarthyist were the 1800's Know Nothing then that mean I have to agree with you, and well that can not happen... :tinfoil3:

No, no, no, so let say the 1920's even though today Tea Party is actually the Know Nothing McCarthyist of the 1950's and 1800's, but much more ignorant because they have the tools to educate themself but prefer Sean Hannity, Rush, and nutter bloggers to tell them what to think...

Lol let's not quibble over a 100 years here or there ;-) Puritanism in any form is disgusting .......... xxxx

And Yes, Al Jazeera in any form is good in that it will to some extent show that Muslims are people too

 

[Union_Jack_1972]

Alright we need to stop because last I knew I was a jackboot wearin' Bushbot supporter, and now I am agreein' with the enemy!?!

Either my insanity has gone mad wild, or gasp we agree on stuff... NOOOOOOO!!!

If you do not understand what I just wrote then ask the left leaning mods, and they'll explain... :tinfoil3:


The thing is they have to dull down their news coverage so they can keep their journalist alive. The attacks on their journalist in Afghanistan and Iraq was in my opinion disgusting as hell. So Qatar has learnt to play in the evil big boy world they must spin a little, just sad. I wonder beside news what will they show?

Will they be like link or will they be like CNN and BBC?

Also I wonder if anyone knows that BBC has a Arabic News Station out of London?

Baby, I have been a Nazi and a Commie and a Lefty and couple of other even moer evil things all from one post ......lol .it is good to confuse 'em all out of their comfort zones sometimes

Look at Qatar on the map and we understand why it must align it's self with any and or every one who looks as though they are on the winning side, always a risky business but Qatar has always been in that precarious position and is good at the game. It is a clever little country and learned how, and has become good at, surviving amongst the giants, keeping all sides happy .......

The US for all sorts of reasons is emotionally isolated, who better to hold it's hand as it ventures out than Qatar ?


Canary Warf is where the Arab Station is ........yes of course we know and we do have the World Service still.

America is isolated, we are not nor ever have been. We went and lived in the Empire

It used to be called the Empire Service and was paid for by the Foreign Office, it has changed over the years and goes out in many languages. It is how many people, including San Suu Kyi, whist under house arrest keep in touch with the outside World when isiolated. I often have it on at night, some good programs from around the World


Lol a very heated debate on at the mo from India about rape

 

[Union_Jack_1972]

The reason why those like you and I know stuff like this is because we are not Yanks. Being born under the Commonwealth flag I have learnt to keep an open mind. I jokingly play as a moderate right leaning nutter, but in reality I am Liberal minded.

Sad to see so many here still believe the Colonies are the center of the Universe, and yet in the real world America is just another nation to most...

It isn't American peoples fault and actually most people in the World are only interested in their little circle, it is normal.
In part it is because the American people didn't have an appetite for Empire and so it became insidious ..to the American people too, they have been lied too but the lies can't carry on, even the most 'patriotic' are seeing the cracks. And America is no longer Top Dog.
Oh is all become so convoluted and they are beginning to eat each other Time to open the doors eh ?

The British are no bloody angels, none of us are but that is the point, none of us are xxxx
