Sometimes, two stout dikes can circumvent Nature. The Netherlands has many examples.

It seems as though most, if not all, news outlets demonstrate editorial bias or slant the news favorably in line with their ideological sympathies. News sources are constantly trying to shape public opinion.

What a rotten, horrid story. The poor child will likely need a lifetime of counseling.

Paul... would you have allowed Nazi Germany to broadcast in the United States? Radical Islam is a real and present danger to the United States. It's just a matter of time and luck before they succeed in attacking our homeland again. Free speech doesn't extend to all people at all times.

We are at war with Radical Islam, not the refugees from Bosnia.

Al-Jazeera is a mouthpiece for Qatar's dynastic rulers, the Al Thani family. Al-Jazeera exists only so long as it pleases their autocratic monarch. We are in a global war between two great civilizations. Why would Al Gore grease the skids for those sympathetic to our enemies? The United...

You see Al-Jazeera as a legitimate news agency?

We can jam their broadcasts at any moment. Has Canada ever had an event like Pearl Harbor or 9/11 ???

We cannot afford another event like 9/11. Osama bin Laden's goals and objectives were achieved with wild success. Because of the 9/11 attacks the United States became involved in long, expensive wars... draining our national treasury and dividing Americans against each other along...

WW2 was a global war as is the current war against the religious zealots spawned by Radical Islam. We aren't at war with any nation or government. Rather than be sneak attacked again, as happened on 9/11/2001.... we take the battle to the combatants wherever they can be found. President Obama...

I am not aware the United States is at war with any nation at present. Did I miss a war somewhere?

The United States gets most of its oil from Mexico, Canada or from domestic sources. Al-Jazeera is based out of Qatar, I believe. Preferrably, we wouldn't buy oil from the Middle East at all.

Yes, Al-Jazeera wants to put a happy face on its reporting. They probably have a gardening show and the equivalent of Reading Rainbow for children. Bottom line is, their sympathies lie with the Muslim world whose radical elements are waging war against the United States and Western...

During WW2, can anyone imagine a US vice-president selling broadcast access and capability to Joseph Goebbels?

Al Gore's move is a sign of the times we live in. Hope he got more than 30 pieces of silver.

Apparently, the Bush administration worked hard to discourage American cable and satellite TV providers from carrying Al-Jazeera. Al Gore was more than happy to sell out to a network which doesn't necessarily have our best interest in mind.

Former US Vice-President Al Gore has sold Current TV to Al- Jazeera. Comments? Al Gore's S.F.-based Current TV sold to Al-Jazeera - San Jose Mercury News

The National Geographic Channel series called "Diggers" will be airing an episode about uncovering artifacts from the Hatfield-McCoy feud on Jan 29th. For those who have asked, Bad Frank was my great-grandfather's nephew. Artifacts found date back to Hatfield, McCoy feud

OVM... I am guessing you have 5000+ posts in the Soapbox. Probably 1000 posts mentioning pickles or shorts. I suggest you, my pickle-obsessed friend, take on a second job and score yourself a little extra dill dough. Soapbox fans everywhere are outraged.

I am always surprised to see statements about avoiding the Soapbox forum. It is the 2nd most active forum at EO, I believe. Sort of like the bar scene in the Starwars movie. Lots of interesting characters. Take the good with the bad, let the negative roll on by. We often solve urgent global...
