My last post before I'm banned?
Because I dont want my subscriber dollars funding a channel as blatantly anti-american as Al Jazeera. It is the "sister channel" of the same Al Jazeera that guides the terrorist agenda and shows beheadings of american solidiers. If you want a network with arabic news/slant, than find by me, but I won't in anyway embrace Al Jazeera and I suspect many people wouldnt.
I could see why we would not carry PressTV. I saw on PressTV a month or so ago that America was responsible for both an earthquake and a major hurricaine all in the same day. The CIA was busy that day I can tell you.
So... how do you feel about the LOGO channel? I'm not too pleased with that programming choice by DirecTV. But I guess when you have the size gunn MTV has with all of their channels that DirecTV wants, then I can understand why LOGO was a "must carry."
I have watched Al Jazeera English as well as CCTV9, and any other news channels I can find on FTA. I hope my grand-dad is not spinning too hard from me watching "That commie crap."
I am a hard core, gun totin', single payer healtcare system wanting, chicken frying, southern baptist, who thinks you can't legislate morality.
I have wide spectrum political view points. I'm either a Republicrat or a Democlican according to which topic we're yelling, (I mean talking) about.
Al Jazeera is not that bad. From what I have seen they have a lot of documentaries on parts of the world that most americans don't even know exist. Al Jazeera also gives more time to the people that disagree with them than Fox News offers its detractors.
But anyway, I'll take an alternative channel which addresses issues for 50% of the world with newscasts showing burka clad women with a burning flag over programming for a (generous) 10% of Americans that shows guys with @ssless chaps and a flaming f@g hags anyday.
Oh I also liked CBC's Newscast International before Al Gore killed it.
