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.

They’ll start overtly showing jihad recruitment video’s soon.
There next release of information will be a statement that they have pulled all the American local talent to protect them because their lives have been threatened. Just fake subversion to give Holder and Obama some operating cover when they start taking more rights. Count on it.
oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paging algore aging algore. Hope the checks clear.
And, AFAIK, they never paid Al Gorzeera for the purchase of the station!
LOL
Two Birds with one Schadenfreude! }:-)
Al who ?
Get them out to Hollywood for some goat porn. They’ll thrive in the land of perverts.
I saw a Freeper the other day claiming that he/she got all the news from Al Jeezera.
Wondered momentarily what I was missing..but concluded it wasn’t my sanity, and left it at that.
The check to Algore has cleared the bank. So it’s all good.
Maybe they can get a package deal on CNN and MSNBC.
I watched A-J often, I considered it intel. Actually the packaging was quite good though it was totally biased.
Muslim propoganda network is blocked on my DTV receiver.
So then, you don’t get CNN, MSNBC, CBS...?
Racism!!!!! Islamophobia!!!!!!!!!!

In January 2013, Al Jazeera, the media conglomerate controlled by the Qatari government, paid about $500 million to Gore, businessman Joel Hyatt and their business partners to buy Current TV, a ratings-challenged cable news network that was distributed to about 50 million homes.http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/09/19/al-jazeera-response-gore-lawsuit/15879927/...
After their sales contract was finalized, AJAM and Gore's company, Current Media, set aside a portion of the sales price in an escrow account for other claims that may arise following the sale.
In August, Gore and his partners sued AJAM for keeping about $65 million of those funds, claiming that AJAM wants to give itself a discount. AJAM "manufactured several ways to raid the entirety of the escrow balance in express violation" of the agreement, Gore's lawsuit claimed.
Well, not as Schadenfreudinous as I thought, but still rather delicious, don’t you think?
