    Yes I do recall something about Gore being involved. Do not recall how. Maybe he does the whether reporting or invents internets for them

    Gore sold them his TV station.

    I think someone said "you make me hurl" to him and he misheard it as URL. The rest is history.

    I agree the antisemitism of "many" Muslims is well established. That this means that every thing a Muslim says about Jews is a lie is fallacy. Taken with a grain of salt perhaps ... an article must be judged on its own merits and not on the color of a persons skin some other label. This is, by definition committing the Ad Hom Fallacy. Attacking the person rather than the argument.

    If you watch the video in the link provided ... you will find that has some very interesting facts. Whether these facts support a conclusion is another matter .. but, at least learn what the facts are before making a conclusion.

    It figures one of the only bastions of real journalism couldn't make it in this overtly racist country. The vast majority of folks who still turn to TV news (probably the lowest and most non-substantive forms of news that exist) are the slavering, mouth-breathing yahoos whose only reason for being seems to be to gather as much dirt and speculative innuendo on folks they hate and despise with unreasoning passion.

    From the OPs link which he strangely omitted (for fear of plagiarism--WUT?):

    http://money.cnn.com/2016/01/13/media/al-jazeera-america/index.html

    Serious, in-depth reporting is certainly NOT what the enemies of freedom and liberty (aka conservatives) want the American people to know about. The better to keep everyone in the dark and sow more fear and distrust amongst their neighbors.

    But fear not, friends. There still is a place where you can go where stories aren't spun or censored on the whims of the corporate world:

    His Current news channel was bought out by AJA. He was not actually involved in AJA, which you would have known if you actually had read the linked story. Let me guess: you saw "CNN" in the URL and ran screaming to the hills?

    Overtly racist country? The U.S. is the most diverse and tolerant nation on the planet.

    But you go on living with your narrow minded stereotypes.

    Ridiculous lies. Don't you have anything better to do than troll this nonsense? I guess it's dumb of me to even ask.

    So you're faulting them for actually having reporters in the field instead of sitting in a studio all cooking up fake news (a la FAUXNEWS)? Oh my GAWD!:eekeyes:

    Yes, I'm sure award-winning journalism with integrity and covering news items that the "lamestream" media usually ignores would be mind boggling to you.

    How about something real? Strange that you would think criticism of a state that usually gets away with a Hollywood-ized vision of itself would be anything but a balance to the "we never do wrong" fairy tale that passes for TV news these days.

    Why are you assuming that everyone who works there is a Muslim?

    You could have just read the OPs linked article for the REAL reason instead of just pulling biased speculation out of your arse.

    Your siggy gives a clue on why you insist on exaggerating everything out of proportion.

    I wouldn't know, nor have I ever claimed that. I really can't think of any of their reporters who isn't conservative. On the other hand I don't know every single person who works there so I would hardly be a good judge of that.

    Is it free speech that you don't like then?

    Or is it that you are so programmed to American propaganda that anything else from anywhere else can only be a pack of lies?

    Exactly, but that doesn't stop fox from producing the conservative agenda. My sister (very liberal) works with Fox here in DC.

    Al Jazeera pushes the Islamic agenda which includes sometimes sticking up for terrorists.

    I'm saying its a Muslim sympathizing news organization, and anti Jewish to boot.

    Your glorious leaders have historically been host to innumerable odious characters-irrespective of the political colour of the incumbent.
