An analysis of the propaganda campaign to get Al-Jazeera carried by more cable and satellite systems reveals an interesting fact. The terrorist TV channel is already available through something called MHz Networks. And it turns out that the MHz Networks is supported by the American taxpayers at the federal and state levels.
MHz Networks is a division of Commonwealth Public Broadcasting and receives over $2 million a year from federal and state governments. In this case, because Commonwealth is based in Virginia, the culprit is the state of Virginia. However, Governor Robert F. McDonnell has proposed eliminating state funding of public broadcasting by cutting $2 million in fiscal 2012 and $2 million in fiscal 2013. Even if state legislators go along with this proposal, that still leaves the federal subsidies for Commonwealth and MHz Networks.
According to figures supplied by Joseph H. Koch, Commonwealth Public Broadcasting Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, $1.4 million of that $2 million came from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which is funded by Congress. The CPB distributes taxpayer money to public broadcasting stations and entities.
Since Al-Jazeera is totally owned, run, and paid for by the Emir of Qatar, officially known as “His Highness,” this means that American tax dollars are paying for foreign propaganda in the U.S.

Quote from G Larry:
“Obamacare is SOCIALIST!
His tax policy is SOCIALIST!
His regulatory policy is SOCIALIST!
His energy policy is SOCIALIST!
His budget proposal is SOCIALIST!
His takeover of private industry is SOCIALIST!
His theft of corporate assets to reward unions is SOCIALIST!”
YUP!
Pay your taxes - the CPB is broke. :)
NOT just that they love them, but they share the same pair of eyeglasses, with minor differences in what they see through those eyeglasses.
The Left IMO is comprised of mentally impaired led by criminal opportunists, and as well are the Muslims, and both target, and abuse religion amongst so many other similarities.
Thanks for the info.
MHZ programming seems nefarious.
If you are intersting KCET Channel 28.4 has it over the air LA E
I been watching that network it is good network I been getting in original Wallander they been showing Swedre version on Thursday night sometime
I think both France 24 and Al Jazzerea are most out of control news network I love both LOL!
“Time to defund PBS”
Are they also involved with the Children’s Jihaad Television Workshop, makers of Mickey Muazin and the like? I knew they were up to no good when I was forced to watch Clifford The Big Red Dog with my two-year-old over and over and over, until I realized what they mean by “Red”. Fred Rogers must be gyrating in his grave.
I don't think Al-Jazeera English is broadcast anywhere but Burlington, VT and on the Internet.
Shhhh! Don’t tell the delusional their little heads will explode.
Hillary loves Al Jazerra...says they present REAL news.
wrong.....OBAMA FUNDS PBS WHICH FUNDS Al-Jazeera
I listen to the only radio station in S. Florida that plays Classical Music. Unfortunately, it is an NPR station. Lately they have been moaning and groaning about decreased Federal funding in their appeals for donations. As much as I love Classical Music, it is NOT something that should be funded by tax dollars. I would rather listen to commercials than their self-righteous whining.
They broadcast Al Jazeera here in SO CAL on KCET 28.4 along with France 24 NHK Japanese news and Euro journal that is
I consider Al jazeera like Arab version of CNN news if you can call that LOL!
Our MSM are basically a bunch of paid shills for government corporate political propaganda so what difference does another network make? We need more networks from outside the USA. If they each must compete for honest reporting instead of being a monopoly on the take we’re better off as a nation. If I had AJ I’d definitely watch it as an option.
