Reply #66: Well, it would be difficult for AJ to be popular when no one [View All]

in the U.S. knows it exists. Otoh as soon as people discover it, they see the value of its excellent reporting and programming and invaluable coverage of events happening in every part of the world. And we are not subjected to the opinions of tourists or the dissemination of talking points, the injection of scary words like 'BROTHERHOOOD, be scared'! into the reporting.

Almost everyone I know who have watched AJ's coverage of major events in the news, cannot tolerate CNN or any of the other MSM networds because the propaganda angle stands out even more once you get used to seeing real unfiltered news and reporters who ask tough questions unafraid of losing their jobs.

I have emailed our cable provider and asked for AJ to be added to the lineup. I'll pass it around, posted it here earlier and I hope they respond. The state of the U.S. News media is dismal. The rest of the world has access to far better news reporting and Americans are far, far behind now in what they know about world events.

Eg, Americans only discovered Wikileaks last summer, while the rest of the world was aware and supportive of their work long before that. Of course that made it easy to spread false propaganda about them here. Still, Americans are resilient and will find the facts once there is way to do so.

Fox is universally reviled around the world, a laughable excuse for 'news' and attracts only the far fringes of society who are fed their daily dose of what they WANT to hear, not how things actually are. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Murdoch Empired begin to fail as more and more New Media becomes more and more in demand.

When I think of Fox, which I rarely do, I think of an old, moldy, room where a lot of strange people are screaming about something, ranting and raving, but no one knows about what. Best to just shut the door and walk on by.
