Pro-Arab and Arab-language TV news broadcaster Al-Jazeera was approved in Canada by the Liberals’ state censorship panel at the state-run CRTC division of the Liberal Party, before Fox News Channel was approved. Fox News Channel is now available to digital subscribers on Rogers Cable, Shaw Cable, and Star*Choice Satellite services. I highly recommend it to all Canadians. They allow conservative thoughts to be spoken and frequently don’t ridicule conservatives. It’s really quite astonishing.
And although the Fox News Channel application was approved without the restrictions imposed on Al-Jazeera, they did discuss restricting Fox News in the same way. No seriously. From the CRTC news release: “Some interveners suggested that BDUs wishing to distribute Fox News should be subject to the same condition of licence applicable to those that wish to distribute Al Jazeera”. But after actually discussing it as if it were a serious threat because it allows conservative thought to leak out … “Accordingly, the Commission will not impose any requirement on BDUs for the distribution of Fox News other than those that generally apply with respect to the carriage of non-Canadian services that are included on the digital lists.”
Now it seems Al-Jazeera had ties with the now dead terrorist sons of terrorist Saddam Hussein, former dictator an mass-murdering President of Iraq, according to an Associated Press report through NewsMax.
My understanding is that Fox News Channel is not associated with any terrorist organizations, although they do tend to support “The United States”, which I believe appears on the Liberals’ terrorist list.
BEIRUT, Lebanon—A videotape found in Baghdad after the ouster of Saddam Hussein shows a former manager for Al-Jazeera television thanking one of Saddam’s sons for his support, the newspaper Asharq al-Awsat says.
The London-based Arabic paper, which has ties to an Al-Jazeera rival and has been feuding with the channel, said Sunday that the tape is dated March 13, 2000, and shows former Al-Jazeera manager Mohammed Jassem al-Ali telling Odai Saddam Hussein that “Al-Jazeera is your channel.”
Odai reportedly says “some ideas” he proposed in previous meetings led to “some changes” in Al-Jazeera’s political coverage, including new program hosts.
Al-Jazeera fired al-Ali shortly after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003. No reason was given, but many in the Arab press speculated al-Ali had been receiving support from Saddam’s government.[…]
