Good news for Americans

[Indofred]

Al Jazeera America launches, but AT&T won't carry network | Reuters

(Reuters) - New cable network Al Jazeera America introduced itself to viewers on Tuesday with reports on political strife in Egypt and the impact of climate change on U.S. cities

A channel that is willing to air more points of view than are commonly seen on American TV.
This channel will give you a new opportunity to see all sides of a conflict, allowing you to make more informed choices regarding political matters.

This is excellent news for the American people.

You are infatuated with us yankees lately, whats up with that?

I've got even better news, Indo! Read this and share the good news today!


CurrentTV officially became Al Jazeera America and started airing Al Jazeera content on August 20, 2013.

Al Jazeera America made their start with no major companies advertising on the network thanks to the support of thousands of Florida Family Association supporters.

Florida Family Association’s:

Weekly contact with top officials at the companies that advertised on Al Jazeera America influenced 105 companies to stop advertising.
Supporters who sent emails to companies that advertised on Al Jazeera America influenced 13 companies to stop advertising.
Overall efforts influenced 118 companies to stop advertising. See list posted below.
Florida Family Association tapes ten hours of programing on Al Jazeera America (formerly CurrentTV) every day. The Florida Family Association office communicates with each advertiser no less than once per week. This monitoring effort and contact with companies influenced 105 companies to stop advertising on Al Jazeera America.

Companies that continue to advertise after receiving emails from the Florida Family Association office are categorized as a major corporation, smaller company or non-profit organization (free) and rated from most frequent to least frequent. Florida Family Association features the top advertisers in email campaigns and web articles. Major companies were targeted one at a time because there were so few of them. Some smaller companies, even with frequent ads, may never be targeted with a campaign because of their inferior reputation.

Florida Family Association launched thirteen email campaigns that were all successful in influencing the thirteen companies to stop advertising on Al Jazeera America thanks to thousands emails sent by FFA supporters. All of the following companies, targeted in an email campaign, stopped advertising: ADT, Allstate, Chrysler Group (Dodge Dart, Fiat) E-Trade, Foster Grant, Hershey, KIA, Nestle (Gerber Life Insur.), Pfizer, P&G (Gillette), Reckitt Benckiser plc, Red Lobster and Reputation.com.

Additionally, many companies, more than for any other issue, contacted the Florida Family Association office to communicate their decision not to advertise again. The companies that contacted Florida Family Association to communicate their intentions to pull off of Al Jazeera America include: Approved Colleges, Binder & Binder, Craftmatic, Denny’s, DeVry University, Disaronno, Dream Brands, FabriClear, Harvest Direct, Heineken, iCan, Laser Spine Institute, Life Alert, National Collector’s Mint, Plymouth Direct, PODS, TD Ameritrade and The Tax Resolvers.

The use of advertising time by Al Jazeera America has been measured as follows: 18% for promotion of the channel and/or cable company, 7% for promotion of five non-profit organizations and 75% for advertising of sixteen small companies. The breakdown for the channel's advertising time is posted in the second table below.

IT IS IMPORTANT to encourage Corporate America NOT to advertise on Al Jazeera America because:

American consumer dollars used to pay for goods and services provided by Corporate America should not go to support Al Jazeera.
Corporate America brands appearing on the channel give implied approval to Al Jazeera.
The policies of Corporate America may eventually be challenged to conform to the standards of Al Jazeera in order to reach the growing Muslim population in the United States.
REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH OIL MONEY Al Jazeera spends to keep their American channel alive Corporate America must be vigorously challenged not to support the channel for the above reasons.

Florida Family Association deeply appreciates the support of CreepingSharia and BareNakedIslam.com for posting Floridafamily.org reports regarding these web campaigns that influenced some many companies to stop advertising on Al Jazeera America.

Al Jazeera is a news company that is owned by a non-democratic, monarch styled emirate who does not afford citizens freedom of the press, espouses Islamic Sharia law, backs the leader of Hamas and supports the Muslim Brotherhood. Al Jazeera, headquartered in the Middle East (Doha, Qatar), purchased the CurrentTV channel in December 2012. The CurrentTV name was changed to Al Jazeera America on August 20, 2013.

Your support of these email campaigns is making a difference.

Thank you.

One more thing, Indo! It was an elite team of bloggers that were the driving force behind opening the eyes of these advertisers to drop Muslim Brotherhood mouth piece - Al Jazeera! You're welcome.

I'm not sure why anyone would be frightened of Al Jazeera - unless they have never seen it.

I watched it one summer when my apartment in Baku had it...I was pleasantly surprised. Much more sane and balanced than I would have expected. I didn't agree with every story, but I was surprised at the quality journalism. It's not Fox.


Jeremiah - I suggest you watch it BEFORE you judge it.

What are you afraid of?

 

[theHawk]

I've watched a little bit of it too. It's not nearly as bad as MSNBC.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

I'm too busy helping to shut them down. No time to watch propaganda, Saigon. Why don't you roll up your sleeves and help out here or do you always leave the dirty work to the women? - Jeri

 

[Meathead]

It's ratings will be lower even than NBC. People don't really want to watch whiny liberals except, of course, whiny liberals.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

We shouldn't be watching any television station that refuses to identify and distance themselves from terrorist groups such as Muslim Brotherhood. It is the behavior of a traitor. Real Americans do not finance their own demise! Too smart for that nonsense! Cut the cord, people! - Jeri

 

[Saigon]

I'm too busy helping to shut them down. No time to watch propaganda, Saigon. Why don't you roll up your sleeves and help out here or do you always leave the dirty work to the women? - Jeri

So you are judging something you have absoutely no knowledge of whatsoever.

What a surprise.

What makes you think it is propaganda?

Afraid? Where do you see afraid in that memo? I'm not on the run. Although if some folks get their way - it might be in your future! Those guys don't take kindly to people kissing up to them out of fear. Just a heads UP for ya out there! It won't buy you any brownie points with them, RW. But suit yourself...

It's pretty objective. Reminds me of the Old BBC.

If you hate Muslims as much as it seems.....Don't watch

What a surprise.

Listen up! I knew about Al Jazeera a good decade ago. I know all about them. Seen them in action, heard them in action, etc. Which is why I am warning americans and doing my part to force all advertisers to stop buying time with these guys. They are financing the demise of the American people and the American people aren't having it. Have I made myself crystal clear yet?

You liked it because it was biased against the West and rabidly antisemitic. Two things you can relate to and yes I have seen it also!

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

So have I, GHook. Back in the day when they were banned from America because we had a president who actually recognized them for what they were and wanted to protect the American people! Imagine that?! What a novel idea, eh? - Jeri

I don't hate Muslims, RW. I hate Muslim Terrorism and the type of folks who give it atttention and sympathy. See the difference? - Jeri

Not in your posting, no.

Because if you really didn't hate Muslims, you wouldn't be campaigning against a TV channel that is as anti-terror as you are. Or did you not see that part when you were watching?
