    AlJaz US is shutting the doors but their wider, far better outlet will take it's place.

    They failed by dumbing down to conform to the average US intellect.

    Maybe they studied conservatives and went too far.

    The things that the left choose to defend is just mind boggling.

    I suspect you never watched Al Jazeera but get all your 'news' from Fox, the McDonalds of journalism.

    Trying to divert the topic to Fox News is so typical of you lefties, it's really dead and stinking.
    Again, what you people choose to defend is mind boggling!

    Ok, so what is your issue with Al Jazeera? Let's examine that, shall we?

    Other than their bias towards America or their ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, oh not much!

    Versus what? MSNBC, a network with horrible and plunging ratings with show cancellations that occur every quarter. Maybe MSNBC could get some "talent" that would pay their taxes.

    Its not about presenting them in a good light. Its about flat out LYING about the "plight" of Palestinians. FACTS when it comes to that conflict fly over Muslim's heads by a mile. They can NOT be taken serious when it comes to anything involving Jews. Their antisemitism is well established and considering the source...well...why is it surprising,

    It is not americans shutting them down

    They are shutting themselves down probably because they are a media equivalent of a tabloid which no one watches or takes seriously

    Here's MY issue with Al Jazeera:

    Israeli forces kill two Palestinians in East Jerusalem

    Two Palestinian have been killed by Israeli forces in East Jerusalem, with one of them shot dead after he allegedly stabbed an Israeli policeman in the Damascus Gate area .

    According to Israeli police, the 38-year-old Palestinian from the occupied West Bank ran towards two border police officers with a knife and wounded one before being shot on Sunday.

    Should I continue? :wall:

    So how do you know Al Jazeera is so awful if nobody takes the trouble to watch it?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Huh? They are accurately reporting an incident. Is that not allowed?

    Do they offer anything that would be different from what they print/post? The brand is known, so why waste time?

    How would you know? You never watched it but are content to dismiss it out of hand. Not very honest of you, is it?

    No they don't. Gimmi a break, I know you get my drift perfectly well. Let's say, a Palestinian martyr-to-be ram his car into a crowd of people; that's how Al Jazeera reports it:


    "An innocent Palestinian, driving to the mosque in Jerusalem, was shot and killed dead after a crowd of armed to the teeth Israeli occupants run in front of his car, causing an innocent Palestinian to inadvertently drive back and forth, trying to avoid hitting Israeli occupants, and still they killed him dead!

    By virtue of being the same company, they have to "report" the news the same way. Why watch the lies they print?

    So; Al Jazeera America pick a president named Kate O'Brian and they can figure out why the mu-slimes are supporting them with cash and surplus bomb vests that can be used as prizes for their listeners?

    When you hear that Algore is involved you know that things are going to go bad.

    To be honest;;; he was asking a question not making a statement that they suck. It is clear that they suck so there has to be a reason and he was asking those of you who do watch why they suck so bad.

    Hate to burst your little Limey bubble, but Al Jazeera is just another agenda driven 24 hour cable news outlet, there's nothing special about the network. Secondly, it's the network's fault they couldn't succeed in an American market, not the other way around.
    You're pretty much saying "it's your fault that Al Jazeera's product sucks."
