Well, it clearly states: " The Al Jazeera English live stream is no longer available in the U.S.
You can now watch more of the in-depth reporting and great content you love on the new Al Jazeera America television channel". So I guess they're trying to get US folks to watch their news on a TV channel instead of the web.

It's still better than most of the news sources you can watch within North America. I'm sure there are better stations out there other than Al Jazeera, but when you look at the most commonly looked at news stations, it certainly out ranks most of them.

I have no problem with it. Al Gore has managed to make a glorious fortune scaring idiots over nonsense. Although his TV network didn't work out so well.

Fuck the BBC, their Syrian coverage has been atrocious. They are rebel supporters or anti russian which seems to be part of the problem. They're no longer impartial and everything they write should be taken with a pinch of salt.

My local radio jazz station shares on air time with the BBC and they've covered Syria pretty well for the last two or so years. They were deff talking about all the shit going down before Americans hopped on the Syria bandwagon because of chemical weapons. I tune in to the station every day when I drive to work and havent heard anything biased, just facts about daily/total body counts, whos controlling what, and whos been bombing who, where, and how.
Not sure how the BBC handles it on TV or internet, but on radio, they are doing good.

Its not. Calling western friendly media "terrorist news" is pretty fucking funny though.
Every media has is slant, thats why you are supposed to read/watch more than just one outlet. Hell the Murdoch family ranges from Christian right in america to Far socialist left in India and thats just one corp.

I miss my Al Jazeera news fix. I don't have nor ever want cable TV. They're blacking out their viewers, but I get it. If no one watches their TV channel, the cable companies will drop the channel, and they'll lose a bunch of $$$.

Labour voted against UK action in Syria because they knew it was unpopular with the public and it would score them some votes, the backlash against the British public was terrible. Straight away the top headline was "the west has failed us" and graphic videos of burn victims. Everyday there was news stories about "proof" but non was ever provided. There was a noticable attempt to beat us down for doing what we knew was the right thing to do. Democracy worked for once and they & our gov hated it. They were beating the war drum without a doubt.
Watch these stupid bitches.
I'm glad i don't watch TV, we're forced to pay a license fee to fund the BBC. They're dangerous i think.

Ahh ya bro you get both sides of that christian conservative right slant.
Totally fair and balanced
I have no problem with Conservatives, christians or whatever i just think it is stupid to consume only one form of media and base all your world views of that one slant.
Which is coincidentally why connect Al-Jazeera with terrorism
Shit dude i read the horrible atrocity of a "news" site that is Huffpost and Fox NEws :rofl You gotta know what both sides are thinking right?
Its funny to compare and contrast the rhetoric used and points derived from the same story

Welcome to every news network. Are you telling me you thought there were impartial and accurate news networks?
Accuracy and impartiality are two completely different things. You can be accurate and still partial, or Inaccurate and completely impartial. It all depends on the presentation. If the facts match up it is accurate it doesn't matter how you present them they are still accurate.
Example RT and BBC may run a story about Genocide in rwanda. Rt is going to be more likely to invoke the issues that surround colonialism and hegemony while BBC is going to Human Development, Government and economics.
Because they are both pushing an agenda. One side is going to try to blame it on their rivals past transgressions, and the other is going to take a globalism stance. Throw in some numbers that mean nothing to anyone outside of rwanda, a few tear jerking stories and you got a hell of article that accomplishes exactly what it was meant to do, without being to obvious and thusly decreasing its effectiveness.
Or in other words Mass Media is fucking awesome.
I know Orwell is overdone and overused by idiots but this line is orgasmic and a stroke of pure genius. "He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past."

I am aware of the distinction between the two, and I stand by what I said. There are little, possibly no, news networks that report impartially or accurately.

Well no shit.... i would argue it is impossible to impartial, and accuracy is always debatable. Raw data only means so much someone has to interpret it.
