JihadTV Comes to America

JihadTV is planning a major expansion into the US market, and Variety gives it the “quaint” treatment: English lessons for newsie. (Hat tip: Gregg.)

NEW YORK — Al-Jazeera on Thursday started slowly taking the wraps off plans to enter the U.S. market with a round-the-clock English-language version of the Middle East newsie.

Execs at the Qatar-based cabler say they are starting talks with cable and satellite operators in hopes of launching in the U.S. in early 2006.

Cable operators told Daily Variety on Thursday that talks with Al-Jazeera are in the very early stages. Time Warner Cable said it hadn’t yet received a formal carriage proposal from the net; Cox Cable reps said they had not yet been approached either.

Al-Jazeera founder Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, who is also the ruler of oil-rich Qatar, is bankrolling the network.

The as-yet-unspecified budget for the English-language offshoot will apparently allow the news channel to hire hundreds of journalists and producers over the next few months; HQ for the new network is under construction in Doha, capital of Qatar, as are branch broadcast centers in Washington, D.C.; London; and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The international feed will be broadcast from different time zones throughout the day from those centers.

New channel will offer coverage of world events, but with a special accent on the Mideast, Al-Jazeera Intl. commercial director Lindsey Oliver told Daily Variety.

“We have the advantage in the Middle East of having very good contacts. We’re established as a news channel there; we have access to stories that other channels don’t have the luxury of attaining in the region,” Oliver said.

Especially if they involve hostages and decapitations, and propaganda from Al Qaeda terrorists.

Aljazeera has shown hostage videos, but they have never shown decapitations or other forms of executions.
Why not show Aljazeera? They are no more radical than the Fox Network.

Yes they have shown decapitations, perhaps not in the West, but certainly in the East.

Incorrect. Aljazeera has never shown decapitations. They have shown the scene, but have never shown the actual act.

Pretty much everything shown on Aljazeera has been shown on Western stations.

I do not believe I have ever witnessed a person who lives so deeply in a bubble...Gabby should start a new mini series on Al Jezerra...maybe call it:
'How to get waxed while living in a bubble!' or 'How to enjoy keeping your head buried in the sand-with your rear high in the air!'

Why if Al Jazeera is not a terrorist mouthpiece does Al Jazeera usually have the first press releases from the terrorists? Gabby you are a terrorist sympathizer and an enemy of the victims of WTC and the Pentagon.
