Some of you may have noticed the new commercials for Al Jazeera America. It pissed me off so much, I wrote to DirecTV's customer support:

As a long time DirecTV customer (going back to 1998 on my first account), I am appalled and annoyed to see you are now carrying Aljazeera America. Aljazeera has every right to broadcast the anti-American garbage they do and associate with terrorists and thugs but you don't have to do business with them or give them another platform to spread their propaganda.

I've been happy with DirecTV over the years but I'm going to have rethink my account as long as you're going to carry the signal for propagandists against America.

Dear Mr. SHOOTER,

Thank you for writing. I understand you are concerned about the Al Jazeera channel.

While we are contractually obligated to carry the said channel, we will review our options once we have a chance to evaluate the new landscape. Al Jazeera America is not a new channel, but rather a rebranding of Current TV, a channel DIRECTV already carried. Since Al Jazeera assumed Current TV’s contracts with providers like DIRECTV, there were no new negotiations or contracts signed to carry the channel. By carrying Al Jazeera America under an existing contract, we’re just maintaining our current channel offering.

DIRECTV is committed to bringing you the very best TV experience. We know you have a choice when it comes to programming providers, and we must work hard to earn your business. Rest assured that many of the changes we make are a direct result of the comments and suggestions we receive from our customers.

Again, thank you for writing, Mr. SHOOTER.
I forgot about "Ozone" Al Gore selling out to Al Jazeera but I'm going to try to figure when their existing contract is up and see whether they really "evaluate the new landscape" (i.e., drop the Islamist bastards like Nidal Hassan being handed a pound of bacon) when it gets close.
