Half-Hour News Hour Cancelled

I don't blame you for trying to weasel out. Walid Phares is indisputable.

The only way to maintain your lies is to discredit or eliminate the truth.

Your post is an attempt to dodge the truth.

By the way, for anyone wanting to know who is really telling the truth about Jihad and the jihadist's global war on freedom, Walid Phares is THE guy who KNOWS the truth and TELLS the truth.

Your quotes show REVIEWS AND OPINIONS of a BOOK, not FACTS. PERIOD. Try again.
 

So you are not trying to say Jihadist control the American News corporations? So what was the point of the firs thalf of your post in mentioning communist Russia?

You are agreeing with Phares that the education of Jihadism was lacking in American schools?

Only thing I can say to that is education on Jihadism should only be taught at a college level in Middle-eastern, foreign policy, Terrorism, Social ideology, etc. focused courses or segments of courses and should be taught in a unbiased educational forum and not as political propaganda. By all means don't hide the severity of Jihadist ideals and plans but don't force a conclusion on the students.
 
BTW

"The show averaged 258,000 viewers (25-54 demo) in its last 10 airings, winning its timeslot all but once."

And from FoxNews

"While HHNH performed admirably in the ratings and Kurt Long and Jennifer Robertson did a wonderful job, we are considering ways to retool the show for future scheduling needs. There is still a chance you will see the program at some point in the future."

mediabistro.com: TVNewser

So don't let the rants about ratings fool you.

Whether this is true or not...who knows.

The reality is....many times a show is cancelled the network puts it on "hiatus"...knowing that it will never return.

But...it still begs the question....If FauxNews IS a legitimate news station:

1. Why put on a comedy program at all
2. If Fauxnews is unbiased "fair and balanced"....why the right-wing bent to the show?


I think the bottom line as to why it was cancelled is that the FOX right-wing audience doesn't have a sense of humor....they are simply too busy being angry and outraged about Liberals trying to destroy the country.

Well until you can show otherwise.............MediaBistro has not problem with it's reputation of quoting industry ratings.

The reality is....many times a show is cancelled the network puts it on "hiatus"...knowing that it will never return.

Sure and a show like this is ripe for some revamping, but then it may just simply be a matter of a fit within the NEWS network.

But...it still begs the question....If FauxNews IS a legitimate news station:

1. Why put on a comedy program at all

An experiment in broadcasting.

2. If Fauxnews is unbiased "fair and balanced"....why the right-wing bent to the show?


They went after all kinds of targets, but since the DID go after liberal ones I guess they must look really bias'd to you.


I think the bottom line as to why it was cancelled is that the FOX right-wing audience doesn't have a sense of humor....

And that was probably one of the most absurd statements you could have made to back your position in the matter. Actually the show was quite funny, attack the people who watch Fox really doesn't make you look very good.


they are simply too busy being angry and outraged about Liberals trying to destroy the country.

blah blah blah blah

I'm saying that like we were a victim of a surprise attack on 9/11, our ability to understand the true nature of Islam was prevented by a stealth attack on our early warning system, i.e. academia, throughout the 1980's and onward.

Our liberal academics were intentionally fooled and because we relied on them to give us the most authoritative information about Jihad, when they said it was like Yoga, we believed them.

Did that have anything to do with what happened on 9/11? Yes. Does it have anything to do with what's going on today?

Yes. EVERYTHING.

Walid Phares cover story in Homeland Security Today: "Jihad vs Education"
By Phares articles
Dec 10, 2006, 09:5


JIHAD VERSUS EDUCATION

Knowledge provides strategic depth for America and the West against the jihadist onslaught, argues the author, and there are specific steps we must take to protect the homeland.

Cover Story – HS Today November 2006 Vol. 3, No.11

By Walid Phares

In the few hours following the terrorist attacks on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, media in the United States began looking for answers. The very first series of questions asked by all was indicative of the state of mind of most Americans: “Why do they hate us?” Five years later, as we analyze the conflict from a homeland security and war on terrorism perspective, and probably years from now, when historians have had enough time to contemplate it, the bigger question regarding the 9/11 attacks will be: “Why didn’t Americans know?”

And where is the works cited for the so called FACTS he is stating eh bhkad?

Again, COMMENTARY with a bunch of accusations without any FACTS is NOT FACTS, but OPINION. congratulations on taking a commentary book hook line and sinker. Welcome to the conservative mind, where commentary is fact LOL.

You can deny, deny, deny all you want.

But the people who are searching for the truth are paying attention and one day you'll find that your audience has dwindled down to Jihadists and those who don't really care about America or the truth, if that hasn't already happened.

So just keep giving me reasons to present the truth and your little song and dance will increasingly be seen as merely tawdry.

Jihadist sympathizing, ignorant and tawdry.

:2wave:
 

Same source.
It is a fact that America’s homeland security is highly dependent on the US educational system. Terrorists use knowledge to harm this nation and other democracies in the name of their ideology. And knowledge is what Americans and other civil societies need to resist terrorism and reach a secure and peaceful end to this ongoing conflict.

You provide no truth, just opinion. Nice try, but saying it is truth over and over again without providing where the information comes from does not make it fact.

Nice try, you lose again.

OMG a sentence that says it is a fact (without any proof), and you believe it. There is a guy downtown that says it is a FACT he is Jesus, I bet you believe that too because he says it is a FACT :rofl

ONE of the reasons for invading Iraq which was commonly believed by even his own Generals even after the invasion began, to have WMD's.
"What's the worst nightmare at the start?" "Saddam Hussein hits Israel, and Sharon hits some Arab city, maybe in Saudi Arabia. Then you have the all-out religious war that the Islamic fundamentalists and maybe some Likudniks are itching for."
The Fifty-first State?

So lack of knowledge of Jihad in America is a academic liberal conspiracy conducted since the early 80's?
 
You know who had actual consistant contact with Jihadists? The CIA. They didn't study them or try to interpret their messages, they lived with them and fought with them. They knew who they were and what they were about. Because they were funding them. And it's part of the CIAs stated purpose to provide us with an early warning.
