The cable news channel Al Jazeera America, which debuted in 2013 to great fanfare when it promised to cover American news soberly and seriously, is shutting down by the end of April. The move was announced at a companywide meeting on Wednesday. -------------
Looks like the payoff to Algore didn't, ummmmm, pay off. Bye-bye, jizzbag; head on back to your Moslem deathcult shiitehole.

That's a pity now you won't get to see thetruth from a different perspective
Another way of saying "you won't be able to see a DIFFERENT truth". It's all in the perspective. I do think it is a shame they are shutting down,though. While I found their broadcasts vaguely anti-American,they were interesting and well-done. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
yup, will be interesting to see if they let AliciaGore get away with it Eli, Eli, nai erchomai Kurios Iesous.
Tragic loss. "There was an exodus of top executives, along with a pair of lawsuits from former employees that included complaints about sexism and anti- Semitism at the news channel" -- ironic since Arabs are among the real semites and reporter John Koblin probably the exact oppoosite. Call me anti-American insofar as America is evil.
Yes they were prone to use certain words and focus on articles embarrassing to the regime but often you get an article which shows you more than the regular news services
True. I'm going to miss watching some of their programs. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
How is America "evil?" Certainly you have over-stepped the boundaries of common sense and wasted away your comment into pure phanaticism.
How isn't it? It's the new USSR, complete with feckless, reckless "war" in Afghanistan! (I use scare quotes because our wars are nothing but naked aggressions and takeovers.) What is America doing right -- will somebody tell me that please? Who anywhere on earth is immune from Washington's deadly impact, including you and I?
The freedom fighters turned against America. You can't blame America for that change of attitude. Most posters on LF leave that question up to BorisY to respond to; I shall perform likewise. He was committed to an insane asylum a few years back and under a psychiatrist's prescription, he undergoes electro-shock therepy regularly. He is improving but it is "at a snail's pace" to use an ol' addage.
you love If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
I can -- and do -- blame America for going everywhere it has no business. My question stands. Anybody? C'mon, I wanna be an AMERICA FIRSTER again, but I know too much. We're Israel's junkyard dog, our new state religion is Holocaustianity, our economy is based on thin air, our government embodies the communist manifesto. States ape the feds in doing evil, cities and counties ape them. DC is militarizing local police under the direct guidance of SPLC and ADL. Take the money we've spent "liberating" Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia ad inf and how many problems could be solved at home? The gas lines under Manhattan are ready to blow any minute while we're building garbage like a $750 million "EMBASSY" in Baghdad! Oh, aren't we WONDERFUL. We LOVE all humanity. Kumbayah, kumbayah, come on now, smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another right now........!
So you hate Iran in concert with Hillary, Obongo, Trump, Bushes, and all the top Demopublican politicians? ISIS is just another bogeyman created by Washington to "save" us from, like Al Qaeda (Al-CIA-Duh). We are being lied to about everything that matters, in direct proportion to its importance.
ISIS Campaign Targets Saudi Arabia, Calls For Attacks Against Saudi Monarchy, Shi'ites, And Polytheists http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/8926.htm Introduction The Islamic State (ISIS) has exerted much effort in the last couple of weeks to attacking Saudi Arabia and its ruling and religious echelons in an extensive and well-coordinated media campaign it launched against it. The campaign included the unprecedented release of 15 official ISIS videos from ISIS's various provinces, along with similarly prolific content released from the ISIS-affiliated Al-Battar media company over social networks and jihadi forums. The campaign was aimed at Saudis in general, attempting to "open their eyes" to the Al-Saud's – the Saudi ruling family (who are referred to by the derogatory term of "Al Saloul," referring to Abdallah bin Saloul, a known hypocrite from the time of Muhammad) - supposed treachery and corruption. The Al-Saud family is presented as a body foreign to the Arabian Peninsula, and as unworthy rulers of it. The campaign calls upon Saudis to join the jihad under ISIS's banner in order to target them, their clerical backbone, and Saudi military personnel. It also rallies Sunni Saudis against their Shi'ite counterparts, who are accused of being given a free hand (by the Al-Saud) to live and practice their religion freely in the country. The campaign also makes repeated references to Sunni prisoners in Saudi Arabia, promising them that ISIS shall come to their rescue. This is not the first time that ISIS has focused on Saudi Arabia. In May 2015, ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi lashed out at the Al-Saud for their collaboration with the West, namely the U.S. He also criticized the Saudi military campaign at the time against the Houthi Shi'ites in Yemen, calling it a Saudi attempt to please the U.S.[1] Shortly thereafter ISIS operatives in Saudi Arabia called for targeting the Shi'ites in the country while claiming that ISIS was the only true protector of Sunnis against them.[2] In his most recent, December 2015, speech, Al-Baghdadi denounced the recently established Saudi-led Islamic Military Alliance to Fight Terrorism and threatened all its member countries with retaliation.[3] The campaign's organization and presentation carried several of the hallmarks which by now have become a staple of ISIS's online operations, including volume, coordination, and persistence. ISIS relies on volume, in which the same message, or variants of, are presented repeatedly to a given audience, to make an impact. This approach is particularly evident in issues that are of importance to ISIS, and has been used in previous campaigns as well.[4] This message over-saturation, however, can be criticized as being overkill, or even a desperate attempt by ISIS to drive home a message that could otherwise be done more easily with a single video. In the current anti-Saudi campaign, all 15 videos and supplemental material echoed the same basic messages, albeit with varying emphasis and presentation. The campaign was well-coordinated, with the content being released online steadily over several days, and on a number of platforms, including the Shumoukh Al-Islam forum, Twitter, and Telegram. The content was also republished whenever it was flagged or removed. Format-wise, each video featured primarily Saudi fighters who would personally address Saudis back home. The videos varied in length, ranging from five minutes to over half-an-hour in duration.
Is this more your take?
Quite possibly. I don't consider foreign Ayrabs and Moozlums any of my or America's business, so don't follow it all that minutely. I know "9/11 changed everything," woo woo, and we're supposed to think of nothing else for the rest of time, but I've never been too good at following orders from morons in high places or believing transparent BS.
I'll see the Moo (pigpiss be upon them) cartoon missiles and raise them a few dozen JDAMs.
yes indeed america became even more paranoid and thinks of terrorists all the time so the terrorists succeeded in bringing terror consciousness to america. the never ending war began and escalated
I hope big al did not get all of his money up front, and hope they had him on a payment plan, so that he gets screwed on the deal. Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists.
Nope, Algore got it all at once, lump sum buyout. Don't you remember how they jammed the sale through right before the end of the year, because Odumbass was raising capital-gains and other taxes on Jan. 1? Hypocritical democRat assholes, of course. Taxes are for peasants.
I have hacked my way back to fly anywhere I choose, BorisY. Please dispense worrying over my capabilites. My wife & I are planning a Summer Hawaiian Retreat on Maui once again. Can we expect to see you?

Excellent. Is it true that your straitjacket is restraining you in the locked, padded cell of your insane asylum?
