Another of our enemies bites the dust as the Islamic terrorist new network, Al-Jazeera America, has shut down.
The network was mostly run by Jews, and pushed Islamic propaganda on Americans. Thankfully, no one cared about this nonsense.
Al Jazeera America was already dogged by low ratings and an anti-American image, and then the network aired a thinly sourced report last month accusing Peyton Manning and other top athletes of using performance-enhancing drugs.
The combination was apparently too much for the news outlet to overcome. On Wednesday, Al Jazeera America announced that it would fold operations April 30 after spending less than three years on the air and untold millions of dollars in an effort to establish an Arab-led foothold in the U.S. media market.“While Al Jazeera America built a loyal audience across the U.S. and increasingly was recognized as an important new voice in television news, the economic landscape of the media environment has driven its strategic decision to wind down its operations and conclude its service,” said a statement Wednesday on the AJA website.
No one “recognized you as an important voice” other than invading Moslems who are too stupid to understand their own language.
In the same statement, the parent company, Al Jazeera Media Network, announced that it would expand its digital services “to broaden its multi-platform presence in the United States.”
Funded by the government of Qatar, Al Jazeera America was never able to catch on with U.S. audiences, drawing fewer than 30,000 viewers per night on average. The network, which was available in 60 million homes, struggled to gain wider cable distribution.
“The cable news outlet wrapped 2015 with a mere 7,000 average primetime viewers in the news demographic of adults 25-54,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The network also suffered from internal strife: CEO Ehad Al Shihabi was replaced in May, and a former employee filed a lawsuit last year accusing a manager of making anti-Semitic remarks and engaging in sexist behavior.
Given the no-end-in-sight decline in the price of oil, pouring millions of dollars into Al Jazeera America may have become financially unsustainable for the network’s owners, who bought Current TV from former Vice President Al Gore for $500 million before rebranding and launching in August 2013.
“It’s not shocking to me that the propaganda network for the oil nations collapses as oil prices collapse,” said Dan Gainor, vice president of business and culture for the conservative Media Research Center.
“In 2½ years, they would have had to burn through hundreds of millions of dollars, just based on the number of staff that they had — hundreds and hundreds of staffers, including top-line network talent,” he said.
Feels good, man.
