Look at that arrogant son of a bitch.

It's not possible for you to hate him that much. He's White and has an American-sounding name. What more could you want :rolleyes: ?
 
All that global warming snake-oil hasn't been working out for Algore of late. So he sold out to whomever bid highest for his whore services. Algore has always been a whore. Good riddance to that scumbag can't come quick enough.
 
Re: AJE Buys Current TV To Create New American Network

I think any 'news organization' that broadcasts a different philosophy to one set of viewers as opposed to another set of viewers isn't rally a news organization at all.

It's an entirely different network run by entirely different people.
 
JERUSALEM — Media watchers in the Middle East say the Arabic news network Al Jazeera is well known for promoting radical Islamist causes overseas, but it remains to be seen how it will present the news on its newly purchased U.S. cable channel.Itamar Marcus, director of Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli research institute that studies Palestinian society and the Arab world through their media and educational materials, said there is "a big difference" between Al Jazeera's Arabic programming and its international English-language broadcasts.
"The Arab broadcasts very often promote a very radical Islamist approach," said Marcus.
"What's brilliant," Marcus said, is the way the company "binds this in with all the latest technology and even occasionally interviews with differing opinions, including Israeli leaders." This creates a "perception" of balanced reporting, Marcus said, "but in fact, the overall underlying agenda is very radical."
Daoud Kuttab, the Jordan-based director of the Community Media Network, a Middle East media group, said Al Jazeera's Arabic-language programming "is very different" from its English counterpart.
The tone of the English broadcasts "is much calmer, and the diversity of its reporters and anchors make it a much more international media outlet than an Arabic one."
Asked if Al Jazeera takes sides, Kuttab said it "tries to represent the Arab point of view, just as NBC presents an American point of view when reporting from Afghanistan."
Al Jazeera was begun in 1996 and owned by the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa, an Arab monarch who has offered support to Hamas, the U.S.-designated terrorist group in Gaza, and presides over an authoritarian regime.

How will Al Jazeera translate in USA?


Well, there you have it...an arabic POV network, masking its agenda using a FNC template of balance, while promoting a islamist agenda, with a leader from an authoritarian state who supports Hamas as its owner....I thought we already had MSNBC?
 
Re: AJE Buys Current TV To Create New American Network

Who funds it?

The Qatari government funds it but they avoid it by having non-Qataris run it and usually avoid talking about Qatar. They are British and until 2010 it was headed by a Canadian.

That is Al Jazeera not Al Jeezera English like I said before, they are entirely different networks run by different people.
 
If people want to get their news from totalitarian dictatorships, well, that's their business.

The Emir (King) of Qatar owns Alj English. I'm pretty sure he owns the whole deal. It's a propaganda arm of a dictatorship. It's state press, from fundies. It's no different than PressTV or CCTV.

It's run by entire different people and has different content, Al Jazeera is banned here for hate speech but Al Jazeera English is not. It's a good news organization that tells the truth with minimal bias. The only thing I have watched from them about Qatar is that they like camels. I invite you to go there right now and tell em what you see.

Well Al Jazeera English does not own multiple new sources that most people don't know are owned by them and don't use the money earned to influence politics. Like I said to ecofram go there tell me what bias it has.

There's only one AlJ, English and whatever, owned by the King and totalitarian dictator of Qatar. I invite you to prove otherwise.
 
Thanks for the link. Thought this was a pretty interesting opinion piece.

Will Americans ever get to see Al Jazeera? - Opinion - Al Jazeera English

Really? Did the emir recently give $400 million to Hamas? I think he did....Hmmmmm.
 
Of course there is different staff. What does that mean?

It's owned by a totalitarian dictatorship, and is obviously a propaganda arm.

Go to the website right now and pull some Qatari propaganda for me.

No thanks. I don't need to jump through hoops to prove that a fundie totalitarian dictatorship is full of crap. You go swim in the sewer, that's not my style. While you're at it, hit up PressTV, CCTV and truthers.com for the latest juicy info.


Getting your news from a totalitarian dictatorship. Really?!

No, prove to me it's Qatari propaganda.
