It won't be happy until it has killed every dissenter, and controls every nation in the world under its fascist Nazi rule. USA is truly a fascist nation that puts Hitler’s 3rd Reich to shame.

They have their own ethic rules and they act accordingly. If Hanfar has left, we should contest this decision. Emir of Qatar is very affraid of viewers opinions. isidasi I believe that journalists in Al jazeera and viewers have a strong say on Al jazeera.

What management changes have or will be made? How is the editorial position of Jazeera any different to the position it held before the new board members arrived? Two weeks after these board changes, nothing has noticeably changed in Jazeera's output. There’s a lack of details in the article. What management changes have or will be made?

This administration does not tolerate anything that is independent. Criticism must be shut down at all costs. Criticism or not, America's image will not change until our foreign policy changes. Our MSM dumbed down the American public, now the Islamic world will be dumbed down, too. Infotainment and propaganda, versus the news, will be beamed into every household with a TV. Iam sure that will please the people. What else can America do to piss them off? If it's not bombing them from hell to kingdom come, destroying their lives and worse killing and maiming them it's interfering with their news. Unfortunately al-Jazeera has become a pawn in the media battle. Al-Jazeera was doing more to implement democratic ideas and changes in the Middle-East than anything the US has done. Instituting change begins by establishing democratic concepts. Nonetheless the leaders in the Middle-East are probably relieved since al Jazeera was critical of them too, but it was so popular they dared not shut it down. The Bush administration believes words alone will change perceptions of the US, they won't. Without action words have no effect. Instead Bush is simply reinforcing America's hypocrisy, hubris and ignorance. Bush finally got his wish. This administration does not tolerate anything that is independent.

Let's face it. The network has always been in cahoots.
