    That seems sort of racist...

    I miss Al-Jazeera a lot. I could always count on balanced reporting and solid documentaries. And not much advertising.
    Apparently, they didn't have a sugar daddy like Rupert Murdoch to keep paying the rent while they got off the ground--like Fox did.

    ETA: I just went over to CNN, hoping to get an update on the tsunami situation in Japan. Nope. First words I hear "Donald Trump." I guess I'll try the CBC...

    Bae, I will live however I please. So long as it is in within the confines of the law, it is no concern of yours. I refuse to give you drama to work with at this point and suggest you break free from the net and tour your PNW paradise while learning some tolerance for those whose lives don't much resemble yours. Deal sir? Rob

    Since when was it declared that one of your tasks in life was to monitor my stances on x,y, and z? If you wish to spend your life this way I am powerless to stop you, and given that I am a mod here I can't say what I believe you richly need to hear. So I'll leave it at this.......you have crossed the line with me Numerous times and yes, an apology would be in order. Beyond that, can't you find a more interesting subject of study to monitor? I have to believe that I am a dime a dozen and therefore very boring to monitor. And yes, I will accept an apology by PM....I have enough respect for your dignity not to require a messy public affair. Rob

    Al Gore really saw them coming, didn't he?

    I remember AL Jazeera from my time in Salzburg last year. I was so impressed with their objective reporting with no obvious American slant and just how well done their news pieces came across. I so wish I could have access to them here. Rob

    You presume I lack tolerance. Methinks you are mistaken. I suggest you step down as moderator.

    Maybe he made a bundle off the deal. He's never struck me as a particularly good businessman--or anything else for that matter--but you never know.

    They still have an Al-Jazeera America website.

    Your comment as to how I chose to live my life seeming racist.....
    That was both insulting and way, way, way over the line. I suggest you learn when too far is too far. I've been here long enough to know that this is far from the the first time you have been called out on such behavior....as a matter of fact, I banned you for a week once a few years back due to this. Today I've had my fill. Rob
