Al Jazeera America Officially Launches

[sparkchaser]

This should be interesting.

I like Al Jazeera's coverage.

What say you, Americans?

 

[Brent W]

Always like choices.

 

[sparkchaser]

Do you have it? I read AT&T isn't carrying it.

 

[Brent W]

Yep, I have Comcast.

Are we an "American" forum?
I wonder.

 

[Meadow337]

hmmm.

I have AT&T so I will not know what to think about it. I think it would be kind of cool to get a different perspective on Middle East news than the ones we get now.
Also it would be cool to see some actual middle eastern correspondents.
My pops asked me the other day why all the middle eastern correspondents on the nightly news are white ladies with towels on their heads? Lol.

Of course not. But the question was aimed at Americans and thus was phrased so that it was clear that was its intended audience.

My folks have Comcast and when I visit, my dad is glued to Fox news. The next time I am visiting them, I am going to switch to Al Jazeera America and see what his reaction is.

I suppose they will find a niche of people who they appeal to. We will know they will be fully "Americanized" when their stories morph into the scandalous court case of the summer, celebrity gossip, and anything related to Charlie Sheen.
