I hardly see the point of censoring Al Jazeera. The average American is "on the net", and already mistrusts mainstream media as it is. I personally watch the francophone channels, they're all anti-American but it would irk me no end if I was deprived of that linguistic source over some stupid comments by Chirac.

I'm speaking of the cross section of people I know in my area whether they're liberal or conservative, almost everybody (anyone with children of any age) is online and looks around the net for information, whether it's news, or just pastimes like genealogy, you can't prevent info from being seen. This isn't China.

Just another idiot suggestion from a lunatic fringe, no big deal.
