< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence Fox News: Now the Most Trusted Name in Israeli NewsFox News is set to replace CNN as Israeli's leading cable news provider
The deal, which will bring Rupert Murdoch's 24-hour-a-day stream of pro-war, pro-Israel rhetoric into more than half of all Israeli homes, was struck after negotiations between CNN and HOT fell apart over how much money the network was charging to carry the news channel. Not helping the network's case, of course, is the fact that the network is perceived by some in the Holy Land (and certainly right-wingers here) to be pro-Arab. The Qatar-based Al-Jazeera English was previously declared the front-runner to replace CNN, but it ultimately lost out to the sweet, sweet cooings of Team Murdoch and his army of sexy open-toe sandal-sporting anchorbabes. Israel now joins Iraq, North Korea, and Myanmar as the only countries that do not carry CNN. Uh .... CNN was charging too much, so the Israeli cable provider went with a cheaper cable news service. Gosh. And, somehow, you want me to believe that this has something to do with "the 24-hour-a-day stream of pro-war, pro-Israel rhetoric", CNN is "perceived by some in the Holy Land (and certainly right-wingers here) to be pro-Arab". And this is based on a total of 0.00% evidence? Anyone survey Israeli TV watchers? If the need for a "24-hour-a-day stream of pro-war, pro-Israel rhetoric" was evident, then how did Al-Jazeera English get to be "the front-runner to replace CNN"? And, if I have this right, the CAUSE of this change was "the sweet, sweet cooings of Team Murdoch and his army of sexy open-toe sandal-sporting anchorbabes"??? And the evidence for this? When you think of the fact that most Israelis get most of their news from newspapers ,,,, and there are more newspapers per capita than any other country on Earth ,,,,, and none of the Israeli newspapers feature big-titted girls on page 3 ... and CNN sucks ... and it's median audience in the US of A is now around 700,000 in the entire country and is sinking faster than the water table in Las Vegas, WHO CARES?????????????????? All you have demonstrated is that people everywhere prefer not to overpay for products. And you know how to make smarmy insinuations based on your being a smarmy insinuating kind of guy ... and nothing else. Posted by: Pennywhistler on November 4, 2007 5:44 PM Advertisement |
