I WANT MY TELEVISION BACK

In case you are living in an ignorant cave aka the Midwest, ALJAZEERA has launched a kick ass English news network. Its been in the works for quite some time, and I was obviously fired up about it. Being a victim of American television, spin, and one sided information has left me badly bruised and in desperate need of legitimate information. My only source for good info on the tube is BBC (of course) and Mosaic on the link channel. Yummy. In Aljazeera's case, the bias will be a refreshing slap in the face. Wake up America, people are suffering while you are blissfully oblivious.

But, of course, Americans don't get to watch Aljazeera. There aren't any networks or cable providers, other than a french satellite service that nobody gives a shit about that have the guts to carry it. Fuck the religious right and their insistence that we stay ignorant and uninformed. Yeah that's your personal decision to suspend all reason and rationality in order to pursue a blind faith in you re country. How UN- American. Go fuck your sister and leave my civil rights alone.

Point- I need help. Not the psychological kind, but I want answers and ACTION. Please please please if you know of any organizations that are backing Aljazeera in the states send me a message or leave a comment. If you have any tid bits of info in regards to WHY it isn't available, please drop a line.

They have partnered with JumpTV to be broadcast live online.

I haven't checked out Mosaic, so I'm not sure how it compares.
