Obama administration official urges cable companies to carry Al-Jazeera
American Thinker ^ | February 14, 2011 | Ed Lasky
AL Jazeera is filled with anti-American propaganda. It is also awash in anti-Semitism. The material broadcast stokes terror and violence.
Why would the person who Barack Obama appointed to be the Assistant Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, Juliette Kayyem, advocate American cable companies carry the channel-a channel that cannot help but inflame tensions and anger and one that is not known for unbiased accuracy.
From an op-ed by Kayyem in the Boston Globe:
FOR THE past few weeks, a parallel plot line to the revolutions in the Arab world has been playing out in the media. With rare exceptions, the largest American cable and satellite providers simply do not provide viewers access to Al Jazeera English, the cousin to the powerful Qatar-based world news network. AJE has launched a full-fledged campaign - including advertisements quoting, of all people, major US news figures - to convince cable carriers to open their programming. But most have declined: Burlington, Vt., is the closest city to Boston where viewers can see the network on television.
AJE's battle with the cable carriers is major news in the Middle East. Not carrying the network sends a message to the Arab world about America's willingness to accept information, unfiltered, from the very region we spend so much time talking about. These television wars began not in Tunisia or Egypt, but in Iraq.
We have enough terror apologists in the media already without an entire station devoted to obscuring the truth being beamed into America's homes.

Bush ripped them for being AQ's mouthpiece, which was true. Obama welcomes their propaganda with open arms. :-\
Placation, placation, placation.

remember the video of the US tank "accidentally" putting a shell into al-jazera's hotel room at the pal hotel?

Under this admn - its probably the opposite - Obama giving Al Jazerra all the intel on the tanks so they can hand them off to al quaeda.

I don't see the problem. Align yourself with terrorists, get treated like one.

Have any of you guys actually watched AJ English?
I don't know where you get your opinions from but it's clearly not from watching the channel.
Back in April, here in Thailand, the 'red shirts' took over part of Bangkok in an attempt to overthrow the government. The news from BBC and CNN was the biggest load of opinionated biased crap I have ever seen.
AJ English was unbiased and actually gave a good account of what was going on. Much of which I could see from my office window.
I haven't seen anti-semetic or anti-American stuff on there. It's just news and as unbiased as I have seen.

Govt should not be promoting any stations. If there is demand from from subscribers then the companies should pick it up.
But to have govt officials advocate certain stations is wrong imho.

I've watched plenty of translated AJ Arabic. It's sheer propaganda. The AJ English I've seen isn't any better. Does that mean they're always opinionated? No. But anything to do with Islam is going to be rife with pro-Muslim lies. They're a mouthpiece for terrorist groups.

Indeed.
Great channel...right up there with The BBC international news. These shitholes on this site watch the FOX Garbage Network and want to complain about "biased journalism." ::)

Govt should not be promoting any particular channel.
