Beheadings, stonings, gang rapes and rage against the infidels, coming soon to your cable tv system.

[Elkiejg]

I’m pretty sure we already have it in Central Florida on Comcast.

...creating a groundswell of enthusiasm among American news junkies...

Oh really? I'm somewhat of a news junkie. I am not enthusiastic.

[Joe Boucher]

jimbo,
I’m as right wing as it comes BUT
check out Al Jazeera a few times for two reasons.
They do NOT present news the way abc nbc c bs do, and that CAN be a good thing.
Also it is good to see your enemy and what it is.
Guarantee you they are watching your news presentation.

Why would the right leaning conservatives groan? We have been told by the left how “peaceful” Islam is. Now they won’t be able to hide the “peacefulness”.

This will be a huge wake up call for the middle of the road ambivalent center left democrat and squishy rino. If this is uncensored Al Jazeera, Americans will be appalled.

[Seaplaner]

I don't get it. Wouldn't MILLIONS of subscribers become angry and offended, and immediately drop the service in favor of a company with higher values and standards? (Assuming such companies exist)

[MAexile]

The real question is weather or not they'll beat CNN and MSNBC's ratings.

I'm think’n, yeah, they will.

All information is good information.

Availability of repugnant concept and thought may offend personal sensibility's, but such also permits the ability of those interested in specifics to inform ones self as to where others perception of them lie.

It is good to force read the perspective of ones opponent.

The only mechanism for this is availability of free flowing information.

[DonaldC]

I think their news as as good and in many cases better than the alphabet media we have now.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

I would never watch it, but here’s why I’m against it. It will be in a “package” with other channels. If you want your favorite channels, you have to buy a “package” which has the beheadings, stonings, yelling “death to America” channel.

So you will be subsidizing the “death to infidels” channel. Nice redistribution of the wealth, eh?

I hope I’m wrong, but I doubt it.

[sionnsar]

Don’t have cable.

[trumandogz]

Any cable news network that does not go wall to wall with Natalee Holloway for two years would be good.

[Spok]

Compared to CNN and MSNBC, Al Jazeera would be a breath of fresh air. All the lies, bias and propaganda we’re used to but without the pretense and ostentatious b.s.

[jeffc]

They should also talk to DirecTV, who is pretty much on their side anyway: My Parental Controls setup forces me to enter the unlock code for FNC, but not CNN or MSNBC. Gee, I wonder why?
