burndtdan: i wish i got al-jazeera english

I wish I got telemundo english. The titties are much bigger.

It's called "MSNBC" on my cable system

"I feel it is bad judgement to run Al Jazeera because Al Jazeera English, a clone of Al Jazeera International, by the way, is not given to always telling the truth," wrote an individual whose name was redacted by Burlington Telecom. "Although I have not viewed it myself," that person continued, "I have it on good authority that its bias against America is at the root of this dishonesty."

What a complete and utter Farktard. Wanna bet his "good authority" is Rush O'Hannity?

Only traitors watch anything reported by Arabs in the Middle East.

Know thy enemy.

Al Jazeera, Fox News. Same crap just different sides of the world. Than again, I wonder if Al Jez. has as much Spears sisters coverage.

Al Jazeera international/english is a very good news source. You guys have no idea



Please bring in a national health care plan for the impoverished and uneducated, possibly led by Dr Kevorkian. It's the only humane thing to do at this point

Nestea Plunge: My parents are like this. Anything remotely Middle Eastern freaks them out.

Farking pathetic. If women weren't turned off by my horrible personality, I'd date a ME chick just to spite them.

Actually, your personality might be perfect. Go make some friends with ME students here in student visas and they'll help you out.

You can get it online for free. Go here

LiveStation (^)

Or there's a pay service here:

JumpTV (^)

I watch it all the time. It's pretty good and informative, actually. An angle you won't get from this part of the world.

You want to see some sick shiat? Look up Al Hurra, the US funded Middle East tv station.

/it's not the pro-US/pro-west programming you are probably thinking of

Heh, it took me the longest time to get my mom and dad to try middle eastern food. My mom was convinced she'd get fed rats and beetles.

MAD TV had an over-the-top spoof of Al Jazeera English.

Look on the bright side, they will be first on the scene with any Osama tapes or Al Queda statements. They always seem to have the upper hand in reporting stuff from them.

My mother always says she does not want to hear about "those scary Muslims" anytime I drop in to visit my family and my brother and I discuss world events. I gave her a book of poetry by Rumi...she read it until she realized he was Muslim.

British: MAD TV had an over-the-top spoof of Al Jazeera English.

Call of Duty 4 had their TV station to shoot up and destroy. I farking love that part of the game.

Well, probably nothing to do with the fact that Al Qaeda mails their videos directly to them. I'm sure that if Al Qaeda mailed Osama and Al Zawahri videos to ABCNews, they'd be the first to report about it, too.

Al Jazeera (new window)

It's a news website that features streaming video. As foreigners, they don't use the word news the same as in America. To them, news means newly received or noteworthy information, esp. about recent or important events

Why does the language matter? Them titties ain't in Spanish.

You mean as opposed to partisan punditry thinly disguised as journalism?

I second the desire to have Al-Jazeera english.

/Here here

By mentioning featuring streaming video, I should have said you can watch the channel online using Real Player here

Well that's just backwards.

At this second they are broadcasting some rugby in the basque region of spain. Part of an anti-drug/alcohol program

Dave Marash explaining why he quit Al Jazeera English.

/and NO, I don't watch FauxNews either

nm, not spain? british rehab people

h to the 'ojo: basque region

Obviously as part of a terrorist support operation of some kind.

Ace Frehley's Ghost: Dave Marash explaining why he quit Al Jazeera English.

/and NO, I don't watch FauxNews either

You read the story? He quit after he lost the anchor chair, complained about 1 series where they did a feature on poverty in America that he didn't want to do because he thought it made the country look bad

Yeah, kinda stupid the reasoning he gave for leaving. I thought he was a pretty good presence at AJ/E, actually. Oh well. It's too bad David Frost is such a crusty old goat, because he's awesome otherwise. They need some more star power there.

Al-Jazeera is the world's biggest completely independent news station they don't have to answer to governments or stockholders just newsjunkies who send private donations.

It's actually very good and unbiased, CNN International showed segments from Al-Jazeera about 30% of their broadcast leading up to the Iraqi war, I was impressed by the journalism standards that we ourselves used to have 50 or 60 years ago...

/Those towelheads always living in the past...

AzDownboy: It's called "MSNBC" on my cable system

Ohhhhhhhhhh.... I get it. Your joke is that MSNBC doesn't help promote the "oh, noooozzzzzzz, the turrists!!!" as much as Fox News, so you compare them to al-Jazerra! Awesome!!! Did you think of that yourself, or did Bill O or Rush help you with your homework?

Um, have you ever WATCHED al-Jazerra English? If so, what are your specific criticisms? Or is it just that someone ELSE told you that it is bad?

Do you think that if CNN or Fox got the al Qaeda videos and audio tapes first, they wouldn't play them?

I know right? News shouldn't show things we don't like! It should only show the puppies and rainbows and righteous bashing of evil political parties!

Er, no. They're subsidized by the Emir of Qatar, and also heavily dependent on advertising revenue.

make me some tea: I watch it all the time. It's pretty good and informative, actually. An angle you won't get from this part of the world.

i know that's why i want to watch it.

thanks i'll look into those.

Nestea Plunge: My parents are like this. Anything remotely Middle Eastern freaks them out.

They aren't campaign staffers, by chance, are they?

/I kid because I love

Nestea Plunge: My parents are like this. Anything remotely Middle Eastern freaks them out.

Do you have a sister? If so, there's a good chance I've dated her.

/sucks, because I really like being in my SO's family's good graces
//usually, they're all very standoffish.

They have a problem with Al-Jazeera English but they don't have a problem with FOXNEWS/CNN/MSNBC/RUPERTMURDOCH? I assume when deception is in a suit and not in a dress it's A'OK?

Freedom and Unity
Well mainly just Unity

Jesus people, intelligent people can and should listen to a variety of sources of information to take from it what they can and form their own, well informed, opinions on what is likely to be the truth. Only getting your news from Al-Jazerra probably isn't the best idea. Just like only getting your news from CNN or Fox or MSNBC or the BBC or your local paper probably isn't a good idea.

Only getting information from a source already biased toward your sense of beliefs only makes you a more ignorant person re-enforcing your preexisting beliefs rather than a thinking, rational person seeking real knowledge.

So what if Al-Jazerra has an anti-American bias? Wanting to impose censhorship of information from your fellow Americans is a thousand times more un-American than anything Al-Jazerra could ever say if you believe that America is about freedom and liberty.

Yeah, it's surprisingly good quality as well. They have France 24 as well, but it keeps surrendering to network lag.

Sorry, that's "Al Jazeera" isn't it? I should know better than to use a submitters headline to verify the spelling of words of which I am uncertain.

So they don't have celebrities? I'm confused.

Your whole point is now invalidated. You receive no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Good day, sir.

Persepolis: and may God have mercy on your soul.

Who's God? Yours or mine, joker?

/Used to have a roommate who would say that everytime I mentioned God in any fashion.
/he meant it jokingly of course, but now it's always in my head everytime I hear"God"

If this were 2004, this thread would be tickling 500 by now and the word "liberals" or some variant would have made an appearance probably about that many times.

Some famous talk show host will probably "Send someone" and we'll get the same result.

Al Jazeera English isn't anti-American, it's just more of a "there's a world outside of America" kind of channel, and it reflects that in the way it frames its stories.

Ah, but obviously I did look up other sources to correct myself, eh? After posting it still bothered me that it just didn't look right, so I went to other sources to research, and then learning my mistake I posted a public notice of my error and correction. So, now I just validated WHY it is important to not rely on one source. It's a lesson to all...

Very Zen. Nice.

That in itself makes it unAmerican to a sizable group of people.

Why are you correcting something that is featured in the article about 10 times?
