SIlencing Al-Jazeera

It's funny how so many US officials are criticising Arab regimes for attacking Al-Jazeera and jamming its satellite signals. This is complete hypocrisy. In the US all the government needs to do is declare the station "anti-American" and not a single cable company will carry it, no need for the more crude methods of silencing inconvenient media sources. Al-Jazeera (Arabic and English) is still unavailable in the US for this reason.
