Guess What Al Jazeera America Is Asking Its Viewers to Do Ahead of Its Launch
The Blaze, Dish Network ^ | Aug. 19, 2013 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Al Jazeera America begins broadcasting Tuesday but will only be available in about 50 million homes. A link on the network’s website allows users to search whether the channel is available in their neighborhood, and provides a form letter for potential customers to request it from their TV providers.

understood. but we get better coverage of what happens in America from British tabloids (UK Mail, etc) than we do here . It’s not lost on me that Al J is Muslim controlled but all I really care about is honest reporting that doesn’t insult my intelligence . I can filter propaganda myself, but I can’t do that if even the basic facts aren’t presented.

Could they really be any worse than MSNBC?

“...Al Jazeera America was going to attempt to put an “American” face on their programming...”

They could just prop the head of Nick Berg or Jack Hensley on the news desk while doing the newscast.

Al Jazeera America launches without significant advertising base.

Worse than MSNBC may not be possible, but the issue is what would people have said if Tokyo Rose had been broadcast on American radio during WWII?

So the broadcast content may not, at least initially, have the look and feel of the usual Al Jazeera fare.


Usual AlJazeera fare is say one thing in English something else in Arabic.. usually the direct opposite or close to that..
The Koran demands “lies” from muslimnoids to non-muslimese..

And also says; “If anyone changes from muslim to anything else.. KILL HIM!..
Not implied, or hinted at, BUT DIRECT.. bippy boppity booo..
DEATH!..

DEATHCULT is not hyperbole its extremely accurate..
It forbids killing muslims ..UNLESS.. their the wrong muslims..
Islam is porno cartoon.. a filthy malicious concept..

Dish Network is the same nationwide. If it’s on 215 in Phoenix, Arizona, it’s on 215 in Rusty Nail, Nevada.

How do we find out the term of the Current contract?

It varies from provider to provider.

Should we wait to cancel if they renew?

Do what you have to

Will we be able to tell if they renew?

It'll be in the business section.

Obama will do something to help them put them on the map.

I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of direct taxpayer funding or subsidies. Obama will do whatever he wants to do with our money and the Republicans won’t lift a finger to stop him.

Al Gore sold the liberals’ jobs on current to the muslims... hahahahaha! His TV channel was a failure and made a cool $100 million or so as a 1 percenter screwing his OWS base.

More jobs relocation screwing the libs...

Hey, what can you say.

I plan to call Dish and tell them to cancel the day Al Jazeera America becomes available. We should coordinate and perhaps we can turn the tide!

This will only work with providers with whom you are actually a subscriber. I think Verizon and Comcast are going to carry it, since they've run ads for it.

Burned me up seeing an AlGorezeera ad on FoxNews channel during O'Reilly -- I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that his convoluted plug for it was because he was on orders from on high!

there was recently an Motley Fools webcast claiming that bundled TV services are going the way of the dodo bird.

Let's hope. Parents Television Council has been fighting this issue for years, so that families can keep porn channels off their box. The rise of Internet viewing and sites like Hulu are finally driving some nails in the bundle coffin.

On a daily basis, I doubt if Al Jazeera can generate more than 15,000 viewers across the entire US. It’s a failed business attempt.

It may not be a "business" proposition as we understand it. More like a bid for under-the-radar influence. Arabs crave and esteem backstairs influence.
