Not Everyone Likes the Fourth of July-Themed Al Jazeera Video that Mocks Americans as Fat, Gun-Toting Racists
Al Jazeera’s digital media platform AJ+ posted a Fourth of July-themed 1 minute video mocking Americans as fat, cheese-eating, gun-toting, pill-popping, racist porn watchers.
While some on social media applauded the creation, others slammed the Qatar-owned network for using the holiday “to dump” on America.
Social media users got particularly riled up by the criticism coming from the channel owned by Qatar — a country where stoning is a legal punishment under Shariah law, women have second class legal status, writers can be imprisoned for criticizing the emir and abuse of foreign laborers has been repeatedly criticized by human rights groups.
The video is sarcastically titled “Americans Show Why USA Is The #1 Country In The World.”

Note: In January 2013, Al Jazeera Media Network purchased Current TV, which was partially owned by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore. Using part of Current TV's infrastructure, Al Jazeera launched an American news channel on 20 August 2013.

SGM Matthew Quick This is the reason I don't watch anything on this network. Too much propaganda. Every country has it's good, bad, and ugly! I think it is shameful to exploit any of those faults publicly. How about some real news or maybe they should just create a joint partnership with the Inquirer!

I think that Real Americans are completely unshaken by anything Al Jazeera says. If America is so bad, why does everyone want to come here? I don't need to go far from my home in Minnesota to find thriving communities of Somalis, Eritreans, and Hmong who thought that they would have a better life in America. I don't see too many returning to the old country - but there have been a few youths suckered into dying for jihad.
What do you want, world? Freedom or oppression? The choice is easy for most, so the only recourse for those who can't win a war of ideas is to undermine the ideas of the other while covering up their own misdeeds. This has been a tool of dictators for centuries.

Haters gonna hate;
Deaths by lawnmower, sorry Qatar/AJ but after that I can't take anything you do seriously- not that I ever did any way.
