Default OT Al Jazeera to launch rightwing media targeting US conservatives


Al Jazeera to launch rightwing media platform targeting US conservatives
https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...atives-rightly

So, will conservatives accept the news and opinion from an Arab network?
I thought they didn't like furiners at all, let alone Arabs.

But I think Al Jazeera accurately perceives a group of people without a
compass, so it might be successful.

Do Americans in general want a foreign news source to be a player in
America? I get annoyed merely when I listen to NPR between midnight and
5AM and all I hear is the BBC, a broadcast centered on the USA. It's
like the Voice of America, except we didn't and don't target the UK with
that. It was meant to be broadcast to Europe during WWII and then to
behind the iron and bamboo curtains.** But I suspect the BBC makes
being the British BC more prominent than AJ will make its origin. After
all, in other countries, Al Jazeera on TV is called Al Jazeera. Here it
will be called "Rightly".

Will they accept Arab guidance as long as it includes a healthy dose of
conservative red meat? Because assuredly, Al Jazeera has done market
research and together the staff is as smart as I am and they know how to
appeal to the trump cult. But don't kid yourself, there will be other
things mixed in, in addition to conservativism and trumpism, like little
almond pieces in an Al Jazeera Hershey bar. Arab or Moslem almond
pieces. Even if AJ's goal isn't to be an Arab, Moslem influence
(although that is also the goal) but just because that's how they grew
up and how they think. That set of things are the major things they
believe.

Just like when an American goes to far parts of the world he takes
American values with him, and often disregards parts of other cultures
that conflict with Americanism. So too will AJ bring Arab, Moslem,
foreign culture, all aspects, (political, social, prejudicial, etc.,
even gastronomic (but the last I don't object to), will bring it here.



**By the way, trump has tried to ruin the VOA too. Google it. There was
nothing good about America that trump hasn't tried to ruin.
