Nice to know that anti-semitism is alive and well, even on a freethought blog. And if I, as well as any other American, want to get the "real" news, all I have to do is get off my ass, turn off the asinine ABC-NBC-CBS-CNN, and saunter over to the periodicals rack of the local Borders, B&N, or decent library. “WITH NAMES LIKE THOSE ABOVE” ?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?

Their audience includes many religions, cultures, and ideologies. American news, seeks to control its audience. It persuades the public to follow one religion (Carmelite Christianity), have one culture(a subservient mind-numbed video-idiocracy), and one ideology(ultra conservativatism). This precludes true education that might alert us to our loss of freedoms. The real consideration here is that Al Jazeera is responsive to their audience.
