PBS to carry al Jazeera propaganda news program. Network to be renamed al PBS?

PBS, the national broadcasting network funded with our tax dollars and your tax dollars and the coerced donations of America’s corporations, has plumbed new depths in its anti-American news coverage.

The network’s WorldFocus program now carries reports from Al Jazeera’s English channel, leading some lawmakers and a lot of citizens to object.

“It is a professional institution but it is a militant institution that wants to convey an ideological Jihadi message,” Walid Phares, a terrorism expert for Fox News, said about al Jazeera.

“My concern is that the American people should be pretty darn upset about the fact that their tax dollars are going to fund this,” said North Carolina’s Republican Rep. Sue Myrick said. “I mean, they’re already upset about what their tax dollars are going to fund, and now they’re funding propaganda.

WorldFocus responded with this statement:

“Though many people who have not seen Al Jazeera English think of it as a propaganda machine for Islamic extremist causes, much of what it produces is not ideological. We also believe Al Jazeera English does sometimes offer us and our viewers a unique perspective from various parts of the world where it has access that others don’t.”

In other news, PBS has announced that it will offer a whole new line of al Jazeera logo items during its next fundraiser. Products include authentic-looking dynamite vests for the dashing about town, stylish burkhas for the liberal lady who wants that chic “international” look, and the much requested “Bush Is Hitler” notepads.

Call now. Operators are standing by.

  • Can you imagine this during WWII?
    Movie theaters showing some Nazi propaganda along with the news reels so people could see both sides and make an intelligent choice?

  • actually, I agree somewhat with the first Reddit comment -- even Al Jezeera is more fair and balanced than Main Stream US Media--that's not necessarily a compliment to al Jezeera, but a condemnation of ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN

  • I just cannot help myself from posting some comments from Reddit once in a while. Here are two from where this article is posted at Reddit.

    Wow. What an ignorant article. Al Jezeera is a very fine news organization that does the job that our US mainstream media should do, and report the news like it is, with little to no spin or propagandising.

    OH NOES! US tax money to provide minorities with news relating to them...how dare they!?
