DC Tom Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 It's actually too bad. They had pretty good reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Not sure he ever got it to begin with. Last I heard he was suing them for the dough. Imagine. Being swindled by a hoax. Unpossible in America... especially to a billionaire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalin Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I used to think that they were probably biased simply because of their name, but it was suggested to me that that wasn't the case, that they were pretty good. I began to switch over to Al Jazeera from time to time to see for myself, and came away thinking that they were a lot better than I had previously given them credit for. I believe that it was their name - Al Jazeera - that kept a lot of people from tuning in, presuming a bias on their part. Sort of like if TASS or Pravda had opened US news agencies back in the 70's.

They waited a while, called it Russia Times and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I think the One America News network is decent. Until it became a paid subscription, Naked News was my favorite. Great combination of coverage and lack thereof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Until it became a paid subscription, Naked News was my favorite. Great combination of coverage and lack thereof. Which is an undervalued quality these days. Of course the Left construes that as a filter to shut off any inconvenient truths and story lines that don't agree with the agenda.

KD in CA Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I guess the last ditch attempt to create the Manning-PED controversy didn't pull in enough viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
