A bizarre question. Did you think it through before posting? Your word ''blindly'', above, seems to be there only to disparage the pro-American/West/Israel viewpoint. Do you really think most people who are pro-American/West/Israel are unthinking?Stygian wrote:How is anti-American, anti-west, and anti-Israel any worse than being blindy pro-American, pro-west, and pro-Israel?
In its English broadcasting, Al-jazeera seems fair & balanced. You have to consider this:Stygian wrote:I've viewed Al-jazeera as a more reliable source, but its often hated by most Westerners, which I attribute to its perspective being so contradictory to what views they usually hold.
Here is a website which exposes the double-speak of the Palestinian & Arab media:Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:Al-jazeera speaks with forked tongue, saying nice things in English and speaking hate in Arabic.
A lot of the media is pro-America, as in, agreeing with governmental decisions... blindly. By blindly, I mean taking pro-American news as it is, without thinking there's more to it. It's safe to say a great many Americans do exactly that.Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:A bizarre question. Did you think it through before posting?

My wife and I are white and we adopted a Peruvian boy (when he was 5 years old) who is of Inca descent: short & stocky, almond-shapped eyes and dark-skinned. He married a Laotian girl. Our whole family is multi-ethnic, so your accusation of xenophobia is based on ignorance and prejudice...but I forgive you!Canuckster1127 wrote:More xenophobia.
Same as above for you.Stygian wrote: You seem like the type of person who holds their own beliefs, and shoot down anything that contradicts those as "hate speech."
I don't see what you're saying as hate speech. Only unfounded, which is it... very. You provided absolutely no basis for your alarmist nonsense, which I asked for. Your only rebuttal is "YOU DO THE SAME THING!" (paraphrasing). I love how you ignore absolutely everything I say, in favor of saying nobody has said anything intelligent. To which I say, "You first!"Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote: Now... if anybody has anything intelligent to say about an Islamist network geting a foothold in US media, go for it. Otherwise, forever hold your peace.
Exactly... As we can clearly see Al Gore is NOT a true liberal... He would rather support this OIL LOVING station... He has failed on numerous occasions... His "so called" intellectual properties and status must be revoked. Also noticed that he did this before the end of the tax year.Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:Ah....Americans kicking themselves in the teeth:
Al Gore has just sold CurrentTV to Al-jazeera thereby affording the Qatar (and Islamist) broadcaster a foothold in the US market. (CurrentTV has 40 million viewers.) Al-jazeera is anti-American, anti-west and anti-Israel. Al-jazeera speaks with forked tongue, saying nice things in English and speaking hate in Arabic.
Hey...can somebody re-arrange the US flag with a crescent moon & star instead of those pesky 50 stars?

Al-Jazeera is biased, and being "Anti-West" means you're a terrorist. And not a source was cited that day.
Doesn't surprise me the Gatestone Institute is a self-proclaimed pro-militarism think-tank, either. Al-Jazeera may be biased... but so is every news organization ever.
Al-Jazeera is nothing more than a feeble attempt to get people to try think that the teachings of the Koran are peaceful.. Anyone with a little knowledge knows that sharia law is highly oppressive to woman, takes away peoples voting rights, anti-democratic, and seeks to setup a theocracy under Muslim rule.. We haven't forgot 911.. We aren't going to just sit blindly and hug everyone that seeks to destroy the United States or Canada or Israel for that matter.Stygian wrote:For those that don't want to read the article, a summary:Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3524/al-jazeera-qatar

I'm just peeved. What PEEVES me right now is your blatant one-sidedness. I guess you think I'm angry because I don't agree with you, again. Good perception skills.Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:What is it about this subject that angers you so much?

No...there must be something else. Your reaction is way overboard, far in excess of what would be a reasonable rebuttal to my OP. You seem very emotional. Posting when angry is never a good idea.Stygian wrote:I'm just peeved. What PEEVES me right now is your blatant one-sidedness. I guess you think I'm angry because I don't agree with you, again.
