True, undoubtedly they can refuse to carry whatever they wish, but it's been my experience that letter writing (or complaining about it on here, for that matter) will accomplish very little. Considering the perception that Al Jazeera's programming might be controversial, a bit of media exposure just might carry a little more weight.
