Yup ...

My pleasure, nanac. I was one of the last to post this news - several other members posted it way before me, but their stories were pulled.

Yes, I saw the others. It is such a confusing time here at Current. Hopefully, the new change will be for the better.

Great comment, walmartramen. I agree. Al Jazeera English is an integral part of my news gathering. During the Fukishima and Middle East crises they were continually breaking news late at night that the U.S. networks didn't cover until the next day.

Uh Oh! You're right - they've pulled it. To what end I cannot imagine. Says a lot about the value that is placed on Current's community members.

Unbelievable.

Congrats on lasting a whole hour.

What can you say about a site that yanks a story about remarks made by it's founder, Al Gore? I'm flabbergasted.

Me too, Leen. Another thing I don't understand is there has to be someone "behind the curtain" monitoring the board and pulling the stories. Why can't they simply come out and explain to all of us what is going on?

Exactly, cpad. I will be here 2 years in February and this board has changed so much it's unreal. Indeed there is "someone behind the curtain." It doesn't surprise me that Al Gore sold Current and personally, I think Current wants to get rid of the community. That's why the trolls have been allowed to stay. At least that has always been my take on it.

Containment. Hush. Hush. Damage Control. Censorship.

I suppose we should all be happy we still have a place to meet and discuss this day. One thing I know is that articles posted on Current usually show up immediately on a Google search. And so do our comments.

Thank you CPad.

You can still catch at least part of the shows on-line. Instead of clicking on "Community" just click on any of the other drop-down tabs, like Shows, Videos, Blogs.

Thanks for sleuthing that out, Marsha!

You're welcome.

Are we going to have to wash it out with soap? ;)

I was thinking industrial disinfectant :)

Maybe it'll bring a better crowd with whom to discuss the news.

Me 2. Ricky. I wonder how soon the change takes place?

Yeah maybe we'll find out the truth about what's really going on in the middle-east, Greece, and all those other places we seem to be lied to about all the time. Maybe the NY Times, Wash. Post and all those other GOP owned papers will have to start being a bit more honest in their reporting.

That's a great idea.

Hope they have a few shows pertaining to Wall Street corruption. If not, it's RT all the way.

I'm with you Vic. Russia has taken a slew of bad hits from the American press propaganda machine, as well as blame for wars that can actually be traced back to the White House steps. Russia is a more democratic society than we are. And RT definitely delivers more iron-clad facts than any of our own media. It was interesting to note this morning on the Bill Press show as well as Stephanie Miller, that they were basically silent on the sale of Current. There was nothing mentioned last night either on The War Room, or Viewpoint or the other shows in Current TV. Strangely enough I did hear it reported on my local ABC channel, along with the weather report and reports of break-ins and car car accidents.

Thanks for the link!

Thanks ThirdSec. It sounds like they are planning on changing the name to AljazeeraAmerica. I hope not. We have to start all over again with sign-ons and passcodes?

There is a link to send feedback at the bottom of the article.

It'll probably be a simple redirect: You point your browser at current.com and it'll whisk you right to aljazeeraamerica.com, or something like that...

+^d Me to, but I doubt this web presence will last long,....and least in a form that bears any resemblance to its present form. - sigh.

I hope they don't change anything remanns. I like the way it is.

Same here that's what keeps bringing me back is the format. It's user created

Keep in touch with me, SFirman, when this board goes down.

You, too!

Will do, HH! :)

I will Coleen. I need to open an e-mail account somewhere else so you come through. I have yours.

OK, SFirman, and thank you :)

there will be an agenda.
but it is currently not %100 free speech now.
there is censorship.

I have no idea, but I also like Al Jazeera English T.V. It's available everywhere in Canada - we have it in our satellite news package. I find it an invaluable source, along with several other sources we go to for news. They certainly are well funded and have by far the greatest number of experienced journalists stationed throughout the world.

What happens to the Community site is anyone's guess - I don't imagine we'll be informed until well after decisions are made.

Where's a place that has NO censorship?

I hope we will be informed, cpad. But I'm not holding my breath.

Al-Jazeera is about as "government controlled" as the BBC is, which is not much. Also, as a liberal, I love reading the news on al-Jazeera, you should check it out! :-D

http://www.aljazeera.com/

Or, the CBC.

The only "government controlled news agency" so far, is FOX News - totally controlled by the GOP.

...and considering how the GOP is shrinking and becoming more inbred than a royal family, FOX News isn't even all that government controlled.

Well then you probably have nothing to worry about. :)

Right. It's going to be interesting to see the same in-fighting going on at FOX as what's going on within the GOP - gonna be lots of Fox-tales to be told, before all is said and done.

I just can't wait for their avalanche of unhinged conspiracy theories about the al-Jazeera-Current merger. The price of tinfoil will skyrocket in the red states!!!

Heh, if I had a broker, I'd tell her to "BUY."
Know what you mean about the "conspiracies" which are sure to follow this item - no doubt it'll be linked to "The Clinton Clot errrr...Plot" and then, of course, Benghazi - (hmmm, wonder where Al was when THAT happened....) Gotta go - must find my tinfoil right now.

Mal's a Canadian, BTW

I'm wondering the same thing?!!

Wow that's quite the racist post you got going on there.

I'd like to see the contract.

yeah i guess it is isnt it.
i will remove it.
i was actually making a point about the moderators removing the other 5 posts of this story made in the last hour.

Ok yeah I can get that but wow dude that one made me wince.

Maybe Time-Warner has cancelled it's contract with Current, but I haven't heard anything from Dish Satellite,and watched all the programs up til the end of Spitzer at at 9:00 pm

It's all good, I think Al Jazeera can do a lot better than current because they have the infrastructure in place.

I have Al Jazeera on my iPad and love it.

I am very excited.

I think someone else already created a forum for current members, please post the link so we can meetup there.

Guess I should contact Dish and find out what their plans are.

One would thing that they would keep it after TWC drops it.

They are keeping it crabby. I called Dish to confirm.

I feel bad that every else's disappeared.

Hi Hardy! Got to love the CBC :)

Oh, hai, I've seen that guy.

Indeed :)

I won't know you if you change your name.

Oh, but WE'll know.
You can just say that you "escaped" Montreal... for the Promised Land, NWT.

Best Newscaster in the business.

I'll let everyone know what it is if we change sites.

He's like a Canadian Peter Jennings. ☺

And that is true! I lived in Montreal for eight years before we moved to the NWT.

Oh yeah!
