No Al Jazeera
Please do not carry Al Jazeera. We already have plenty of, so called, news channels that are nothing more than propogandists that sell advertising time. That last thing the American television landscape needs is to be inundated with the propoganda of Islamic extremists.

There was a Current TV?
I think their ratings were even lower than MSNBC and CNN if that is even possible.

I prefer having the opportunity to view Al Jazeera America and reaching my own viewpoint on it before anyone, including kregg451 (who originated this thread), attempts to tell me whether he approves of its inclusion in a channel lineup.

Al Jazeera is simply a news organization that falls somewhere between MSNBC and CNN ideologically. Like BBC, it focuses on international news while avoiding the entertainment-only stories such as what Justin Beiber or Lindsey Lohan happens to be doing today. AT&T Uverse seems to be engaging in censorship here, which is a truly un-American response. Even if you do not want to watch Al Jazeera, it seems hypocritical to engage in unconstitutional action in order to support American ideals.

If the government interferes in the freedom of speech, that is unconstitutional. If a private business decides what information, channels, books, etc they want you to have, that is their right, whether you agree with it or not. That is the big difference.
I personally would like to see U-Verse include beIN Sports and Al Jazeera. The more channels the better.

I was very interested in this channel and even had the launch date marked on my calendar. I have followed them online and they are actually quite unbiased and I get news from around the world. I was seeing them as an option to CNN. I am quite disappointed in AT&T's actions. I subscribe to their top packages and am already in the process of finding a cable/satellite provider other than U-verse who will allow me to watch this channel. It's unfortunate, as I was happy with their service. However, I pay over $220 monthly and I don't even get to watch what I want now.
Shame on AT&T.
