is the boycott of aljazeera from the Networks tantamount to censorship similar to the one in China or is it self preservation ? its not because of the violence because there's channels that show far more violence . its not a matter of bad taste because well if that were the case 90% of channels would be shut down .

Its not because people wouldn't watch it because for most channels on network either the network pays to carry it or the channel provider pays the network to carry it .

WE are at war. That would be spreading propaganda for our enemy.

It isn't censorship...its that nobody would watch it.
Also as I say
Know your enemy...
I personally think that people should watch it or read about what is going on in the Middle East instead of just believing propaganda or news that is biased. Make your own decisions. Personally I would like to know what they are saying about the west and hopefully better get to understand them.

Because then people would hear and see the other side of the story and learn some truths and God forbid people hear both opinions and choose for themselves. Of course its censorship that's why Bush wanted to blow up there offices. Why would he want Americans to see what really goes on over there? Bush wants people to believe his propaganda and that's a little harder to swallow when you see children with there insides on the outside and there mothers and siblings dead next to them. The pill is alot easier to swallow when its crushed up, mixed in with sweet juice and spoon fed to you now isn't it?

because 99.99% of everything that comes out the mouths of aljazeera is hypocritical, twisted logic, and overall fanciful bullsh!t that they use to brainwash and indoctrinate the poor and stupid ppl within the muslim religion
thats why, and the american ppl really don't give a sh!t about their lies and bullsh!t

Because maybe, just maybe, the people who run this channel are evil and encourage those who wish to harm innocent people? I don't think that would put them in the same category as ABC or HBO?!?
