1. At last someone to counter the
America First   (08.21.13)
Jewish strangle hold of the media.
2. When Al-Jazeera fails, #1 will blame the "Jewish media"
Jake ,   USA   (08.21.13)
3. it's all anti-semitism
Gideon Powerful ,   US   (08.21.13)
The Arabs just succeeded in infiltrating American media against the jews. Trust me they would be the first to always show stuffs defaming and delegimatising Israel.Hashem be with you Israel.
4. Jihad TV is in America
Stan Marsh ,   South Park/USA   (08.21.13)
Al-Jazeera is the mouth piece of the Muslim Brotherhood and is tied to terror groups.
5. MB may have the White House
BH ,   Iowa   (08.21.13)
But they'll learn the hard way that outside the Beltway this country is one giant, armed hornets nest.
6. It's a dud
Jeff ,   USA   (08.21.13)
I watched it tonight... it'll be off-the-air within a year.
7. And it will tank, #2
Cameron ,   USA   (08.21.13)
Like pushing a boulder up a mountainside trying to find a broad national audience in the US for an Arab-backed & Arab-oriented news service. Such a blatant hustle attempting to manipulate popular opinion & views. You know it will not appeal to an American audience after events like 9-11 and Boston, not to mention the years of combat in Iraq & Afghanistan. Doomed before it gets off the ground.
8. News with an Islamic bias?
USA   (08.21.13)
Hell no! Islam believes in lying, distorting fact, historical revisionism...and all that crap that their culture reeks of. No thanks! Western journalism, even the liberal kind is more trustworthy!
9. Sad day for America
Yosef ,   Egypt   (08.21.13)
# 1 be careful what you wish for. When Aljazeera has poisoned the air with enough lies, disinformation and Islamist propaganda - agitation and social unrest will follow. You and your likes will be the first casualties, but there will be nothing you can do except crying mommy and blaming the Jews.
10. #1 and #2 lol
Ilan ,   Toronto   (08.21.13)
#1 the Jewish strangle hold that's what? so pro israel, it hadn't said anything but Nice things about Israel? grow up! #2, its a known fact people don't want news! they just want what they think they know reinforced! If Al.Jiz"in your face"eera does fail,, it WILL probably be because of what #1 calls "Jewish media"
11. To #1
Aharon   (08.21.13)
Your comment is foolish and illogical. If the Jews are in control of the Media, they sure are doing a poor job in controlling antisemitism. For me, I truly wish they DID control the media. Then maybe people such as yourself would start to see the truth (if you are interested in such things.)
12. An Idiot Nox Replaced by Terrorism Box Simply Outrageous!
Dina ,   USA   (08.21.13)
13. Al-Jazeera America goes live
JACQUES ,   NSW   (08.21.13)
You have to be a mug to watch their news or believe the propaganda they are broadcasting. One sided politics - you only have to watch the support they are given to the 'brotherhood' in Egypt, despite Morsi systematically dismantling all the safeguards to keep Egypt really democratic. We know what his real agenda was - just before the second revolution he was creating decree after decree to position his party to govern forever, similar to the Hamas and Iranian model.

THEN NAME ALL THE JEWISH REPORTERS AND THE CHRISTIAN REPORTERS IN EACH OF THE ABOVE. only in this way we can all compare how many jews own the above, how many report for the above and how many own or head any of the above. can you do this for us????? go ahead! do it. so that we can all finally put an end to the speculation and see who has the news power, jews or non jews in the entire usa. enlighten us please. we all depend on your research into this. by the way, DO NOT INCLUDE NEWSPAPERS THAT WERE ONCE OWNED BY JEWS GOD KNOWS HOW LONG AGO AND HAVE BEEN BOUGHT BY NON JEWISH OWNERS FOR MANY DECADES NOW. hameed aboughaze, iranian los angeles
15. # 1 yet another total ignorant opinion
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (08.21.13)
with hate from your soulless heart!
16. Al Jazeera
agokoy ,   cebu   (08.21.13)
Maj.Nidal Malik Hasan shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he executed 13 US soldiers in Texas. The Tzarnaev's were educated in the US, spoke American English and wore namebrand clothing but turned on Americans killing 3 and injuring many with bombs. Al Jazeera will have a very American format and very American reporters, but deep within it will be very Muslim and when they turn on Americans there will be casualties. This is just an opinion. I do not trust them.
17. #1 go post there split
Benji ,   US   (08.21.13)
Stop boring us with your worthless posts.
18. Talk about a product with limited appeal
Cameron ,   USA   (08.21.13)
Will not be trusted in any real way as a reliable source of news. We know a blatant hustle, and see quite clearly the Arab agenda lurking behind it. The guy above gives it a rough year to limp along before falling over, and I agree with that prediction.
19. Now that the US have an Islamic
DT ,   TA Israel   (08.21.13)
propaganda station and terrorist supporter there that will go down particularly well with Obama
20. "Jewish conrol? HAH!
Neal ,   Minneapolis USA   (08.21.13)
No. 1 and Jew-hating fellow travelers: Unlike most of the people posting here, I was a "news media" professional for more than four decades (all but my USAF years at a major metropolitan daily, with excursions into radio and television). There is no "Jewish control." OK, Jews invented Hollywood and still run some movie companies, but they produce whatever sells, usually avoiding anything overtly Jewish (except to ridicule or criticize it). Like most Jews anywhere in the U.S.news business, I was a small minority of a large, almost totally Christian staff. Typically, stories about the Middle East were presented in ways to make Israel look like the villain. (A frequent way is to put Israeli retaliation into the headline and top of the story, giving second-place mention to the terrorist act that led to the retaliation.) Few news organizations -- print and broadcast -- are owned by Jews. The newspaper most-commonly accused of being "Jewish," the New York Times, for generations has bent over backwards to avoid appearing to favor Jews; it has become one of the most anti-Israel dailies in America (there are ways you can look this up with organizations that have done headline and story counts). But then, people who hate Jews -- a category into which it appears you and your kind fit -- aren't likely to have their minds changed by facts. Or even need a reason.
21. How long before Obama gives his first interview
Devorah   (08.21.13)
22. #7:Just like names Hussein, Barack, didn't appeal to the mo-
tom ,   tel aviv   (08.21.13)
ronic Americans AFTER 9/11 ???!!! Dream on brother....BTW: countless terror acts AFTER the idiotic Oslo-farce haven't deterred half of Israelis from pursuing "Peace" with the imaginary Palestinians. You're not the only Nation of certified Useful Idiots (unfortunately)
23. And than they came for you...
Viva israel ,   Uk   (08.21.13)
And that's why American Jews need israel... In case sameone like 1# gets into power.
24. Al Jazeera is a good news source except for truths about Isl
Rivkah   (08.21.13)
Islam. The horror side of Islam is not presented, but then the Western Press slants the news, too, to avoid being targeted and murdered by Islamic fanatics.
25. Aljazeera us
Hamdan hamd ,   Amman Jordan   (08.21.13)
I don't think we need another aljazeera tv. Station any where.
26. The Long Haul
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (08.21.13)
Jazeera will be around a long time. Not that anyone will watch it, but Arab money will keep it afloat even if it is in the cellar of listenership. Thank Al Gore who walked away with hundreds of millions selling his Current TV to the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama will be their first major interview where he'll give the Cairo speech all over again.
