Al Jazeera Still Pushing at the US Door

The media wing of the Muslim Brotherhood and the global jihad, Al Jazeera, has been unable to get many US cable providers to carry their sanitized (but still on message) English version. As we’ve noted several times, the lack of interest and the outrage and protests when providers do try to carry Al Jazeera have driven the Islamist channel to find other avenues to infiltrate, such as the jihad-friendly YouTube where they have their own special sponsored channel.

All along, Al Jazeera has been counting on America’s short attention span, knowing that quiet persistence would eventually get their nose into the tent. Now they’re making their next big move, enlisting the aid of the New York Times and Virginia Democrat Jim Moran: Lack of Al Jazeera Cable Reach in U.S. = ‘Neo-McCarthyism’.
