Semi-News: Al-Gore Network Debuts, Muslims Confused
Az Conservative ^ | August 5, 2005 | John Semmens

The debut of former Vice-President Al Gore’s TV network has some Muslim viewers dumbfounded.

“I am watching, thinking it is going to be like Al-Jazeera,” said Moamar Mukhad. “There is ranting and Bush is identified as the enemy, but there are no beheadings. And I’ve yet to hear the ‘death to America’ salutation we all look forward to.”

“Islamic kooks aren’t the audience I was hoping for,” said Gore. “But we’re fighting for all the viewers we can get. I suppose I can get more strident with my anti-Bush rhetoric, but we’re ruling out beheadings, for now.”

It's still early. The polls aren't in.

They might go to beheadings as a ratings boost in the next sweeps period, if they need it.

Has your curiosity not gotten to you yet, or do you not have access to DirecTv which carries the channel? I admit, my curiosity got to me to flip over to it. It flat sucks! It's about as boring as CSPAN, as exciting as going to the dentist, and as informative as a roll of toilet paper. The only curiosity left unanswered is if it will die as quick as air america.

I have direct tv. I never think about his channel till I come to FR. There's no way I'll put my channel on that station. If my hubby's big screen blows up, he'll blame me.

It's wise to study and know your adversary.
