I watch it on the web...America has not refused us access...it's in English at AlJazeera.net. I'm a Christian-American that works nights to give the Muslim family which owns our neighborhood store nights off for Ramadan too! Please try and see that America does not hate Islam...As far as being the God of Freedom, America was founded on the principle of Freedom of Religion. With all our mistakes, we still have that undeniable right in the USA. Peace and Have a nice Hajj. Happy New Year.

Al-Jazeera, and other Arab networks, are too intense for American sensibilities. That is why we have to wait for CNN and FOX to edit Arab news content show they can use it on their own networks.
That is one of the reasons we are so soft on American foreign policy. We are not allowed to see the reality of it. The blood, gore, death, and suffering all are washed, dressed-up, and polished for us to watch on our televisions.
It's hard to understand death and suffering when all we hear on the news is thirty people were blown up today in a Baghdad marketplace, but what they show us on television is an overturned car with people standing around. We see overturned cars on our own highways with oblivious onlookers, except we call them accidents, not murder and mayhem. That's why we can see that on our televisions. We're used to it.
Until we embrace seeing blood and gore on our televisions each day, we can never truly understand the culture of Iraq, or the Middle East, in general. Until we see a mangled child's body laying in a pull of blood and gore with a piece of shrapnel protruding from what remains of her skull, then we are oblivious to our reality and the day-to-day life of many Iraqis.
But isn't that the American way?

Incomprehensible Islamofascist whining and crying that the Terrorist News Network is the sole media source in America. Yawn.

Al Jezeera is the most ridiculous excuse for a news outlet as there ever was. If one wanted to watch that crap, all they had to do was search a little for it. It has been available for a long time on the web. I watch it when I need a good belly laugh. What a joke.

Another genius who doesn't get it.
OK, pay close attention:
Television is a free enterprise, not an arm of the Government like it is in whatever backwater nation you hail from.
Television stations will only broadcast programs that people will watch so that they can earn money through advertising revenue.
No one will broadcast that dopey aljazeera because NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WANTS TO WATCH THAT STUPID MUSLIM, ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA THOSE IDIOTS BROADCAST SO NO COMPANY IN THE WORLD WANTS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH IT AND, THEREFORE WILL NOT PURCHASE COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING SPACE.
Any questions?

Al Jazeera is terrorist propaganda. We have enough American citizens who already sound exactly like the terrorists as it is.

I think that aljazeera SHOULD be seen by the USA. One look at all their blatant propaganda would be all the US public needs to decide that they are full of baloney!
BTW: Did you get paid to post this stuff?

Hey get it right Ahmed... we can watch it all we want... I can order it on my satellite programming, or go directly to their video feed via internet... I don't read Arabic, and they (you) are so interested in us watching it you fail to air an english version.... Why anyone in their right mind would WANT to watch it is beyond me...

America has it's own sources of biased news reporting.

American politicians (notably republican ones) can only be elected thru manipulation and propaganda.
Diverse opinions tend to confuse the sheep.
Fortunately, they won't be running congress anymore.
