I always wondered how state sponsored news outlets like Al Jazeera and RT got people to take them seriously. But I guess the answer is...they don't.

The oil crisis has taken its toll worldwide. Qatar owns Al Jazeera and has to cut back because of the plummeting prices.

That's a real shame. AJ was by far the best news source on cable TV.

It's not a crisis. The price is low because we're producing more oil and making it low:rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

[ROCSteady]

Al Jazeera still doesn't have the stench of bipartisan diarrhea the way FOX News and MSNBC does.

Yep. Al Jazeera is actually fairer and less biased than CNN, MSNBC and Fox News.


It isn't terrorist propaganda like most people who never watched Al Jazeera assume.

Sometimes their coverage shows video footage that US news refuses to, like during the Boston Bombing and the Attack on Paris.

Well if they were the "best" news source out there, then they wouldn't need oil to prop them up. Some news companies actually get by making something known as a "profit".

Yeah, I mean, it's not like Al Jazeera is owned by ISIS funders or anything.

And comrade Vlad had to cut his salary and Russia's spending by 10% (http://money.cnn.com/2016/01/13/news/economy/russia-oil-budget-cuts/)

Barry O straight up raping this man at this point. :applause:

They have the best investigative stories too. Even that recent sports doping report that exposed the likes of Peyton Manning and Clay Matthews was top notch.

Now we're left with the likes of Faux News- a network based around scaring ignorant White people into thinking the World is ending every night. At least they trimmed some fat by getting rid of the likes of Glenn Beck. That's something at least. :ohwell:

It definitely is, but they still report stories relatively fairly, and yes, they do go after Muslim countries too when scandals about corruption in Saudi or Qatar happen.

Just goes to show you that fair and unbiased doesn't leat to profit.

Fox and CNN are the way they are for a reason.

CNN and MSNBC do exactly the same thing dude. They're all equally biased.

"Trimmed some fat"? Come on Don, you know that's closer to liposuction :lol

[Dresta]

:lol

In fairness, it's the Arabic Al-Jazeera that spreads their more obvious pro-Sunni terrorist propaganda, or so i've been told by arabic speakers (not like I can verify, but considering the source of their funding, it is a pretty logical conclusion to draw). There is apparently a considerable gulf between its arabic and international channels.

[DonDadda59]

"Trimmed some fat"? Come on Don, you know that's closer to liposuction :lol

I don't know how any organization could put a clown like that on their roster and then have the nerve to call themselves 'News' or 'Journalists'. Absolutely embarrassing.

MSNBC maybe. CNN does a good job of staying neutral.

[BasedTom]

The english version at least has seemed alright from when I've watched it

I don't think Al Jazeera is an American owned company.

[bdreason]

I like AJ news/articles, but their actual channel was way to bland to compete in the American market. Americans want Entertainment with their news. Beautiful women, bright colors, bold headlines. You can't just have a news anchor sit there and read the news. You have to have a bright colored news studio, with huge monitors everywhere, called the "Situation Room", with a guy named Wolf who sounds in a constant state of panic. :oldlol:

What most people call news nowadays is just news commentary, CNN, MSNBC, Fox are all busy peddling their demographics.

Al Jazeera is not as bad as people make it out to be, I read different sources like NY times, LA times, Fox News, Al Jazeera, BBC, CBC, RT, to even it out bias.

Sometimes I'll read some random paper fro some African newspaper to see how they view a particularly story that I followed.

Lol @ MSNBC "maybe"

[imdaman99]

Dumb OP. Have you ever watched that channel? Very unbiased.

They started a ****ing news outlets called Al-Jazeera.

If you aren't a hardcore radical, you won't be watching some shit with a name like that. They said the channel only had 30,000 viewers (sounds like MSNBC).
