Al Jazeera is the largest and most controversial Arabic News Channel in the Middle East, offering news coverage 24 hours a day from around the world and focusing on the hottest regions of conflict.
The station gained worldwide attention following the September 11, 2001 attacks, when it broadcast video statements by Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaeda leaders.
Al Jazeera is a pan Arab satellite channel recently launching new sub channels in other languages like English, Persian and Turkish, supposed to be unbiased and professional, turned to be biased hawkish and very unprofessional, they had to fabricate info to serve their warmongering in the so called Arab Spring
Mr. X is Jazeeratized, he believes what mass media channels show him without applying his common sense.
The Arab news network based in Qatar that a lot of ignorant, psuedo-patriot idiots (usually Republicans) hate because it happens to report the truth, unlike the corporate-owned CIA fronts such as CNN and Fox. Sometimes they go so far as to call Al Jaeera a propaganda "mouthpiece" for terrorists because they show the ugly reality of war or decide to air a bin Laden tape (not newsworthy to these people, but Bush worship-fests or mindless Hollywood gossip probably is).
If idiots want Al Jazeera to stop inflaming Arab opinion by showing U.S. crimes in the Middle East, then they should stop supporting the politicians who start unprovoked wars of aggression in first place.
Term used by a number of conservative bloggers in the UK to refer to the BBC during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict of 2008. Combines "the beeb", the traditional slang term for the BBC, with Al-Jazeera, the Arabic news network. The implication is that the BBC (which is required to be strictly independent) is in fact biased in its coverage in favour of the Palestinian cause.
"Al-Jabeeba showed five whole minutes of footage of Palestinian victims and failed to mention the Hamasrocket attacks on Sderodt today."

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
