| #8 Couldn't do any worse than Univision, which by the way - Last week the Nielsen company, which tracks television audiences, announced the Spanish-language Univision network was tops with viewers aged 18-45 for the month of July. Univision passed NBC in February, but that was dismissed as a one-time win over a struggling network. To beat Fox, CBS, ABC, NBC and others in NielsenÂ’s July time frame speaks to UnivisionÂ’s appeal and the size of the demographic it drew upon. Univision offered the same types of music, sports and programs to attract young viewers and were not the usual summer reruns on the other networks. Nielsen reports the median age for Univision viewers is 37. Over at CBS, NBC and ABC the median age is into the mid-50s. - ref. |

| #7 I've watched Al-Jazeera before in Europe. To be honest, it's not *nearly* as anti-American or even anti-Israeli as as several other news outlets, including the BBC. And it has a lot more competition here. |

| #6 Al-Jazeera's been on broadcast TV (remember broadcast TV?) here in the DC area for a while. Not sure if Al-Jazeera America is just an extension of that or what, though (as I don't tend to watch it or much other TV for that matter). |

| #3 I'm all in favor of a channel that shows Terrorists and terrorism. What I'm NOT in favor of is a channel that JUSTIFIES, WHITEWASHES, or IGNORES the truth about terrorism. GUT plenty of the latter, damn near none of the former. |

| #1 Broadly speaking, the more Lawyers are involved defending the rights of legitimate + open Muslim-operated/controlled business in future post-2015, "borderless", "anti-Sovereign", globalist OWG Amerika, THE BETTER FOR DEMOLEFT-SUPPORTED, DEMOLEFT-PROTECTED LEGAL SHARIA IN THE US. |
