Why do most americans hate al jazeera?

Question

i am interested in knowing what you think .anyway if you have sources that's even better

maybe al jazeera opposes the american policy in the middle east, but does disagreeing with al jazeera means hating it

Answer 1

Because they are ill informed Like the User JAkes he is completely misinformed and cant even realize he is already gave up many of his civil rights being arfraid of terrorist.Just like fox news wants you to be and the rest of the mainstream media.
It is the ignorance of the peope to think that we are not the aggressers in the current world affairs. We have military bases in 130 country's how many country's have bases here? What does logic tell you.
Stop dreaming and jakes needs to lay off the snooze button and wake up.
Without al Jazeera we would be minus many facts and realities of thos empires invasions.
Hey Jakes do you even have an idea whats going on in colombia? didnt think so keep watching fox news to keep your head well buried in the sand.
For the rest if you are a humanitarian, believe in liberty and the pursuit of happiness like we were granted in the constitution you need this 8 minutes to decide what you want.

Answer 2

I will cite al Jazeera's website in Arabic and English. Sadly, the two sites give different messages. Personally, I do not "hate" al Jazeera any more than I "hate" Fox News or MSNBC. All of them give slanted messages--slanted away from the truth.

I do think it is wrong that al-Jazeera provides inaccurate translations.

Answer 3

I'm not sure people know a whole lot about Al Jazeera, and think that it is political propaganda against the West and the US. I don't know about you, but I don't have the channel, nor can I read / speak Arabic. Many people have to rely on what others (media, politicians) tell them about the news network.

But I bought Control Room. It's a BBC documentary about the network. It was really interesting and gave me a whole new perspective on current affairs.

Answer 4

Negative stereotypes run both ways. Just as some Americans hate Al Jazeera because it "sounds Muslim" or they think it is a Muslim propaganda machine you will find some denizens of Arab countries that think any American or European media company is simply preaching kafir lies. It's funny how in the clash of civilizations both sides think their ways are the only correct ways, how they think the other side is primitive, uneducated, murderous, and propagandist liars. It would be almost unbelievable to both sides how similar they are to each other though even when presented with the facts neither would believe it.

Answer 5

I dont hate al jazeera, would be nice if they didnt sensationalize things like journalists getting murdered though, I mean I am not saying they officially take a side but sure seem to be on the side of terrorists soemtimes.

Answer 6

Americans don't hate al jazeera. It's the other way around. Hate is the territory of terrorists.

Answer 7

al jazeera informs us of the news exactly as it is, and this often involves a lot of negativity about america becoz of Iraq etc. so american sources have tried to shun people away from watching it. in countries that live to please america like yemen, Al jazeera is banned.

Answer 8

The Middle East will remain in a Dark Age until they set themselves free of a belief system that enslaves half their population and allows them to think that they can murder, annihilate, the rest of the world. What will set them back even further is the coming end of their oil reserves and or the development of alternative fuels in the West.

If Western civilization doesn't get tough on "Islamism" and either send them home or worse, all of us will suffer the consequences of what can only be called a racial and religious war against us that will drag us into the darkest of ages, blacker than the robes that they swaddle their women in. I ,for one, would rather die than be converted by a sword at my neck to any belief system. I will fight, my family will fight--join us now--call for the return of Muslims to their own countries. Withdraw their citizenship and send them, as well as those who have converted to their murderous system, back to their own lands.

Here is what they believe:

Political Correctness is the Incubator of Islamism
by Amil Imani

14 Feb, 2007

Time and again we are told by the politically correct “experts” not to worry about Islam posing a threat to our way of life. We are repeatedly lectured that only a very small minority of Muslims are troublemakers who are giving the peaceful masses of Muslims a bad name. We are also informed that the terrorists, who happened to be Muslims, are the disaffected and the young. And not to worry, since as the fire of youth turns to ashes of old age the rebellious will mellow, as they always have.
With heavy assurances like this, coming from so many know-it-all authoritative figures, we can sleep soundly without the aid of sleeping pills. After all, people reason that these pundits are “experts” whose job is to know and tell it like it is. Those who voice contrary views must be a bunch of racist, alarmist hate mongers. Who is right?

Wouldn’t be more prudent to let the facts settle the matter, rather than blindly accepting either position? Of course it would, except for one huge problem. In the face of threats, people tend to go to the mind’s medicine cabinet and take a few denial and rationalization pills, in the same way that it is the aspirin bottle they turn to when a headache strikes. Why not? We are the Easy Species. We love effortless, quick and simple solutions. And that’s not invariably bad. It has given us all kinds of labor and time saving devices.

Yet, the Islam problem is very real and deadly. Neither the pronouncements of the experts, nor the tranquilizing pills of the mind can make it go away. It is here and it shows every sign of imposing itself on us.

Europe is already badly infected with Islamism. It is the coal-miners’ canary. It is telling us that the next stop is America. We must act and act now. We must not sacrifice our cherished way of life and the lives of our children at the altar of political correctness: the incubator of Islamofascism
