[edit] Criticisms

I changed the world "diverse" to the word "liberal" for the perspectives that Link TV provides. Everyone knows the Link TV shows nothing that is to the right of Karl Marx. That is not the definition of diverse, communist would be a better description, but to be diplomatic, I said liberal.--Biasbuster07 (talk) 07:14, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

This page sounds like blatant advertising, or was taken off the channel's website. --Impaciente 17:03, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

This page is a pr piece for one of the most vicious anti semitic, anti US operations this side of Al Queda. Those who revert the edits become fellow travelers of those murderers.Incorrect 05:14, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

You might well be right, I've never seen the channel. But, since this is an NPOV encyclopedia and not a blog, you should find some evidence and documentation for your assertions about Link TV. Find some respected sources that discuss and illustrate Link TV's alleged biases. Write THAT up, work it into the article as a 'Controversy' section -- and not only will you have made your point, and made it stronger, but the article will be better for it too.
BTW, it's usually spelled Al-Qaeda. -- ArglebargleIV 14:33, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I would argue that the criticism paragraph should be allowed back into the article, balanced by answers to the criticisms. -- ArglebargleIV 22:53, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I think the article is very factual. It is an "independent non-commercial American satellite television network providing diverse perspectives on world and national issues" and does provide a "mix of documentaries, global and national news, the music of diverse cultures and participatory programs promoting citizen action." I watch this channel often to get a global perspective on world events and I really don't understand how anyone could possibly consider it the "most vicious anti semitic, anti US operations this side of Al Queda". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.68.27.32 (talk • contribs)

Yeah I wouldn't really call this channel anti-semitic, they also have some interesting features on Russia and Eastern Europe in general. Article's content is fine as it is now but could definitely stand an expansion. —lensovet–talk – 02:58, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Link TV = Anti-American Propaganda

Let me translate for you:

Engage viewers with in-depth programs on issues of global importance. Misinform viewers with poorly-produced propaganda on issues of global importance.

Provide diverse perspectives on world issues and cultures. Provides anti-American perspectives.

Give voice to communities underrepresented in conventional media. Gives a voice to communities that even the media know are too questionable to report on.

Encourage action. Give them money in a never ending telethon---they're Communists and don't like to work for a living.

Promote cross-cultural dialogue. Reeducate your ugly American mind with an "enlightened" view of cultures who hate America, and therefore are correct.

Maintain independence. Give them money in a never ending telethon---they're Communists and don't like to work for a living.

Don't believe me? I've seen "documentaries" like "An Act of Conscience", the epic tale of a family of bums/hippies/"tax resistors" who decide they're good enough to live in the US, but too good to pay taxes because of the war. When they lose their home, they talk the family who purchased it legally until they force them to leave. The "film" ends with a light-hearted party after the "victory."

This evening's "film", "The Blood of my Brother", BORDERS ON JUSTIFYING JOINING THE INSURGENCY AGAINST US AND IRAQI FORCES!!!!!!!! It's about a guy who doesn't join the insurgency, but states "...when I see an American or a Jew, I want to kill him..."

I'm sure someone else can come up with more examples of the filth aired on this channel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.192.47.64 (talk) 07:32, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

:Your claims in this section are highly subjective. As ArglebargleIV said above, you need documentation supporting your claims.--Solar clathrate (talk) 11:16, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
