The Al Jazeera news channel is live

[santeesioux]

Anyone watching it? Hopefully it will be better than the jokes that are CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News.

It's one of those private channels, right?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Watching on the Muslim brotherhood, its interesting but you can tell they have their slant

 

[jlprk]

Is it free on a semi-legal site yet? As a patriotic citizen, I only do what is semi-legal.

I watched a bit this morning, they were doing sports coverage, not much different from network sports. I'll try their news.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

watched it yesterday for a few...they had a perspective of the muslim brotherhood, a panel discussion about global warming, something about some prison in New Orleans and tried to explain Obamacare...ehhhh.....

 

[crandc]

I read a review of a report they did on global warming. Got good reviews because they interviewed scientists, not politicians, and did not try to be "balanced" by showing the so called "other side". The "he said she said" bugs the HELL out of me in so called journalism. "A says this but B says that" is lazy journalism when there is no effort to find out what the actual facts are. Yet we see over and over.

yeah..I hate understanding both sides of an arguement before I make my own opinion.....

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

they prefaced the entire show by basically knocking americans and their views on global warming versus the rest of the world. it seemed like an entire panel just patting themselves on the back. as for the news show itself, I prefer BBC (the news show, not the other thing).

Can't be any worse than Current TV, which Al Gore originally wanted to call "The Internet..."

well, Gore sold Current TV to Al Jazeera. CurrentTV was fucking horrible. A bunch of hipsters with videocameras.

[EL PRESIDENTE]

The channel insists upon itself.

Is this the channel that Al Gore sold to oil countries?

Just wait for their gay rights' stories from Afghanistan. I'm sure they will be a hoot!
