COLLAPSE BEGINS: AL JAZEERA AMERICA CANCELS ALL MORNING SHOWS
Breitbart ^ | January 12, 2015 | John Nolte

Posted on 01/13/2015 6:01:36 AM PST by C19fan

Al Jazeera America’s inevitable collapse has begun with the elimination of all of its morning programming. Instead of producing its own programming, the basement-rated cable news network will simply re-broadcast Al Jazeera programs from its parent studio in Qatar. Also canceled is the late morning program, “Consider This With Antonio Mora.”

Mediabistro reports that behind-the-scenes staffers will be reassigned and “the fate of on-air talent is unclear.” Variety, however, reports that primetime anchors Ali Velshi and Joie Chen will have less airtime and mid-to-late afternoon programming is also on the chopping block.

Not a big market in America broadcasting muslim proppaganda, plus their advertisers are all limited to halal and non-pork related products and non-Jewish services.

“They’re commercial-free, they’re hard-hitting,” he said in a phone interview. “They’re very respected and capable, and their climate coverage has been outstanding, in-depth, extensive, far more so than any network currently on the air in the U.S.”

The Qatar government-owned news network earlier this month struck a deal to buy Current TV, the cable news network co-founded by the former vice president, for $500 million.

Gore ... likens the influence of money in the political process to a “slow-motion corporate coup d’etat that threatens to destroy the integrity and functioning of American democracy.” [you mean like the $500mm you pocketed, Al?]

Hopefully they will not get 'the chop'!

Who says this wasn’t the plan all along?

That is, from the start they wanted to bring in a Muslim propaganda channel that broadcasts directly from the ME, but that would look too blatant; so they set up “Al-Jazeera America” to make it LOOK like home-grown, re-assuring American programming, not that radical Arab stuff, to calm regulators and the public.

Then, a few years down the road, the old “well we’re facing financial struggles, so to save money we’ll just have to cut down on the American production and use more of our international feed”.

Voila, a ME-based propaganda channel instantly & quietly slips directly into American homes, who thought they had signed up for domestic programming.

One thing I love about foreign news is that you get more world news. A story on Obama might not appear till halfway through the broadcast. They also focus on culture — the arts, music, even food. Stories like these don't make it on American news stations, or if they do, they are regarded as fluff for the morning talk shows.

Good. I hope it goes off the air. Disgusting pro-headchopper propaganda has no place in the free world.

Hmmm.

The ongoing oil price drop must be cutting into somebody’s propaganda subsidies.

Al Jazzera wasn’t radical pro-islam enough to take away MSNBCs viewer.

Nothing makes me happier than muslims failing at anything. Did All Gore dump his holdings in this clusterf__?

Did Al ever get his escrow money. Last I heard, Al Jazeera had not released it and Al was going to take them to court.

IIRC, it was something like $300 million.

Hilary once said if you want to learn the news, tune into Al Jazeera. And she wasn’t joking. But maybe she was a paid shill.
