Al Jazeera (What is Arabic for meeeeeeoooooowwwwwwww?)
Author | 16_09-2004 | Martin Ridley

Posted on 09/16/2004 9:26:25 AM PDT by MartinRidley

Its seems odd that country proclaiming a commitment to Freedom supports the closure of the only real free press in most of the middle east - Al Jazeera. Even Alister Campbell aplogist for the UK governement and a supporter of muting the TV station during the invasion of Iraq now agrees how important the station is to free speech.

So all of you neo-cons with your spin on Freedom for the Iraqi people how about letting them watch what ever TV station they wish to switch on. And let Al Jazeera report from Iraqi what has an emerging democracy ocuupied by freedom loving democracies got to fear from free sppech

Of course! For visitors to 'free republic' you lot seem rather unconcerned about issues of freedom of speech and the press. There are plenty of people like Goerring who broadcast crap on the internet or tv, the point is that no one listens to them. In the UK we really believe people should be able to say what they like, just as others can condemn what they say. I cannot believe I am visiting an American website that doesn't believe in freedom of speech. Are you all secretly stalinists?

So, taking all these mistakes into account, what grade would you give to Martin on this essay attempt?

Dear Troll:

Pretty low grade on substance.

(And I only lord poor writing and spelling over whinging liberals, since they have this delusion of intellectual superiority.)

Wow the trolls are coming out of the wood work.


Dear Troll,

Sorry we had to meet under these circumstance, I understand how liberalism effects your mental faculties, maybe some day you and others from across the pond will realize the error of your ways and will shake off the debilitating shackles of socialism and liberalism.

Sincerely a concerned lizard.

welcome to the FR

Freedom of speech can only be infringed upon by the Gov't. This is a web-site.
