Al Jazeera English Falls Short of Expectations
SAN FRANCISCO--Al Jazeera's new English-language channel has had a difficult time breaking into the American market. Despite its international presence, news bureaus in Qatar, London, Kuala Lampur and Washington, D.C., and its success in signing up prominent journalists and star hosts such as Sir David Frost, major U.S. cable operators declined to add Al Jazeera English to their programming when it launched Nov. 15. This sad decision is mired in censorship and politics. But, just as sad, it may not matter. Because so far Al Jazeera English is not very good.

AIM Report: CNN Apes Al-Jazeera - November B
CNN APES AL-JAZEERA
CNN seems to be competing with Al-Jazeera for the award of most anti-American "news" channel.
On October 18, on the program "360 With Anderson Cooper," CNN led off with a report by an Australian reporter for CNN, Michael Ware. They showed a terrorist video tape of snipers shooting and killing American soldiers in Iraq. The tape was made by the Islamic Army of Iraq, described by CNN as just an "insurgent" group.
The network said it was titled, "Latest Sniper Operations in Baghdad," as if this was the work of some Baghdad movie producer. In addition, there was translated voice-over designed to show that these insurgents didn't want to kill any innocent civilians. "People are around them," says the spotter for the sniper, who may also have been the cameraman. "Want me to find another place?"

Al-Jazeera in English not the devil critics label it as
From the way it has been depicted in the United States, you'd think Al-Jazeera TV was a nonstop transmission of beheadings and Osama bin Laden missives operating from the darkest caves of the Middle East.
When veteran newscaster Ted Koppel announced he had talks with the organization after leaving ABC News (for a position he ultimately declined), some reacted as if he were musing about joining al-Qaida.

- There is no Democratic solution in Iraq
By Mustafa Malik
The daily Star, Lebanon
The Democrats in the United States declared the recent congressional elections a "referendum" on the Republican President George W. Bush's stewardship of the Iraq war. On the campaign trail, they savaged Bush and the Republican-majority Congress for the disastrous war and demanded its speedy end. Now that they have wrested control of both houses of Congress, they don't have a plan to end it.(November 23, 2006, click on title or picture to read full article)

- Iraq war was good for Israel: Olmert
By Dan Williams
Reuters
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The Iraq war was a boon for Israel's security, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said on Wednesday, voicing fresh endorsement for a Bush administration sapped by the unpopularity at home of its Middle East policies. The mid-term election losses of U.S. President George W. Bush's Republican Party were widely considered a repudiation of his decision to topple Iraq's Saddam Hussein as part of a vision of democratizing the region and bolstering allies like Israel.

- Lebanon Slaying Complicates U.S. Hopes
By DEB RIECHMANN
The Associated Press
Wednesday, November 22, 2006;
WASHINGTON -- President Bush called Lebanon's leader Wednesday to express his dismay at the assassination of a cabinet minister _ a slaying that heightened anxiety in the Mideast and complicated Bush's meeting in the region next week with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The United States denounced the assassination of Pierre Gemayel, the minister of industry and a strong opponent of Syrian influence in Lebanon, as an act of terrorism. Bush accused Syria and Iran of trying to undermine the young, democratically elected government of Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora, which is being challenged by the Islamic militant group Hezbollah.(November 23, 2006, click on title or picture to read full article)

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia: Al-Jazeera's new English-language channel said Tuesday its first week on air has won a positive response from television viewers worldwide, including tough markets like the United States. Al-Jazeera English launched newscasts Nov. 15 to 80 million homes on cable and satellite TV, but the network also reaches people who can watch it streamed for free on its Web site, said Nigel Parsons, the managing director of the Doha, Qatar-based channel. "We've had fantastic feedback from around the world," Parsons, speaking via a video feed from Doha, told reporters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where the network operates a broadcast newsroom in the famous Petronas Twin Towers.(November 22, 2006 click on title or picture to read full article)

- Onward march of Al Jazeera English
By George S. Hishmeh, Special to Gulf News In the Sixties, Jamal Abdul Nasser, the popular pan-Arabist Egyptian leader who had the largest following in the Arab world, was disappointed upon realising that the main provider of news within the region, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Arab Gulf, was gathered and transmitted by foreign-owned news agencies, British and French. Consequently, he planned to launch an Arab news agency that will cover the Arab world and transmit the news in Arabic unlike the non-Arab news agencies. His first obstacle was in the title of the projected news service. Reuters, the British news agency, had its own Arab News Agency (ANA) which was a translation of its English-language service. So Nasser interceded and Reuters renamed its Arabic bulletin as the Regional News Service (RNS). (November 22, 2006 - click on title or picture to read full article)

- Al Jazeera launches English language service
Reporter: Emily Bourke
MARK COLVIN:
The controversial Arabic satellite television channel Al-Jazeera launched its English-language service overnight. The new service is promising a fresh take on stories from around the world, especially events in the Middle East. The network based in Qatar says 80 million cable and satellite households will be tuning in around the world. But Al Jazeera hasn't been able to secure a pay TV network to carry its programs in the United States. And as Emily Bourke reports Australian subscribers will also have to wait a few more weeks before they can tune in. (Sound of Al Jazeera launch advertisement: "Welcome to Al Jazeera. I'm Shiulie Ghosh and Im Sami Zeidan. This is al Jazeera.") EMILY BOURKE: It was a polished opening to Al Jazeera International's much-awaited launch. Despite intense criticism from the Western and Arab worlds, the English offshoot of the Qatar-based television network is claiming to be the new frontier for international broadcasting.

To be broadcast to 90 countries in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and initially to New York City and Washington in the U.S., the channel promises to offer an alternative to what France regards as the dominant, Anglo-Saxon take on global events.

Al-Jazeera UK
At long last, the English-language version of the controversial Arab TV station launches next week. But what is it for?
It is said that al-Jazeera, the Arabic news channel funded by the Emir of Qatar, owes its growth to pornography. One year after launch in 1996, desperate to expand from humble beginnings, it sought access to a Saudi-controlled satellite used by the French network Canal France International (CFI). Enquiries revealed that no space was available. But then a CFI engineer pressed the wrong button and transmitted hardcore porn into Saudi homes, so infuriating the Saudi authorities. CFI was expelled from its slot and Al-Jazeera got bargain distribution. Sceptics say the new English language channel, al-Jazeera International (AJI) which is due to launch on 15 November, will need a similar stroke of luck.

Terrorists Love Al-Jazeera

In a recent column, historian Victor Davis Hanson wondered whether "we could lose this war at home without being defeated by the enemy on the battlefield." That is what happened in Vietnam and it is happening again, in part because the White House refuses to wage an effective war in the battlefield of propaganda and ideas.

Al Jazeera – an iconoclast of Arab media world
Al Jazeera celebrates its 10th anniversary today. And it’s an important landmark because this channel has been and is still representing a phenomenon in the Arab world where media face suppression over its length and breadth, with a varying degree of intensity. Since its inception, Al Jazeera has been making a splash breaking what was known in the Arab world media but never spoken out, and tackled even those banned issues. It not only opened up information in some places and allowed freedom to gain its breathing space, but also nurtured a new genre of freedom – a phenomenon hitherto extinct in Arab regimes. For the Arab national, dissemination of news about his own country, especially from the western media, was hard to imagine what with the Arab regimes holding the media under ‘tight’ wraps.(Nov, 1st 2006 - click on title or picture to read full article)
