I read A-Jz's website regularly. They report more facts than ABC, CBS, or NBC. I'd recommend focusing energy on meeting the greatest threat if I was concerned about media. I am stunned by your statement. As much as the MSM hates the US, they at least are American. And Al-Jazeera is nothing more than Anti-US filth.
The flaws inherent in the MSM's reporting are no reason not protest Al-Jazeera. I for one am telling my Cable Company that I will cancel if they broadcast Al-Jazeera.
Let's hope Ala-Carte pricing arrives soon.

Al-Jazeera does so much to turn the peoples opinions against America's efforts in the war in Iraq

Great strategy, I will e-mail the UAC about it, I think that is a good approach for people who can't get to the DC rally

Protest would be even more effective if side-by-side comparison of a count of biased stories was publicized at the protest (count 1: total stories on ABC count 2: total stories on AJZ count 3: total stories on ABC created w/ obvious intent to distort image of US negatively count 4: total stories on AJZ created w/ obvious intent to distort image of US negatively)
Real reason I posted - I think letting AJZ have a presence in US may be part of a long-term strategy. Pretend you are a decision-maker whose goal is an Arab population mostly cognizant of factual US goals and favorably disposed to those same goals. Your options:
Option 1 - hope US media produces stories that are factual and leave viewer w/ favorable view of US and hope Arab audience somehow views these stories and believes them
Option 2 - pay Arab media to distribute US-produced stories that are factual and....
Option 3 - allow Arab media small presence in US and hope that as their workforce spends time in US, they develop there own biases in favor of US policies that eventually affects what the produce when they return
Option 4 - kill all Arabs who do not understand and violently oppose US policies
I think Option 3 has best chance of success.

I'm interested in how much of it you have watched to reach this conclusion, given that your cable company apparantly doesn't carry it yet?!
