International Moonbattery Glut to Worsen

As if the BBC and CNN weren't already churning out enough moonbattery and pro-Islamist propaganda for the international audience, both al-Jazeera and France want to get in on the act.

An English-language version of al-Jazeera may seem redundant with CNN and the Beeb already out there; nonetheless it will start spewing on November 15. Al-Jazz International will "provide a voice to underreported regions around the world," according to a statement. It's true that sometimes you can flip all the way through the channels without seeing any pro-Muslim coverage from the Middle East, though you have to flip fast. Al-Jazz became well-known to Western audiences by serving as Osama bin Laden's megaphone after 9/11.

Yelling "Me too!" from behind everyone else is France, which plans to launch a 24-hour news channel in December that will challenge the "Anglo-Saxon" brand of moonbattery disgorged by the BBC and CNN. France 24 will broadcast in English and French. Its chairman and chief executive Alain de Pouzilhac explains that the point is to serve people who

are looking for contradictory opinions — which is what France 24 is proposing by relying on French values.

In accord with French values, taxpayers will be forced to finance this vanity project to the tune of $100 million per year.

If this isn't enough moonbattery to keep globetrotting progressives glued to the TV screen, there is also Hugo Chavez's Telesur, which disseminates hard-Left propaganda throughout Latin America.
