Al-Jazeera English has recently been picked up by a major cable company in the Washington D.C. area after a long battle with U.S. cable operators across the country and fierce anti-Al-Jazeera campaigns led by various groups. They're apparently working on more agreements with other cable companies across the US, and soon millions of Americans will be able to see for themselves if Al-Jazeera is the dangerous channel many in the West have warned us against. There is no perfect news channel, but as news operations in the West are increasingly drying up their budgets and cutting down on their international reporting, Al-Jazeera English sounds quite refreshing with some 69 news bureaus around the world. Click on the video below to watch the townhall meeting Al-Jazeera did in D.C. to introduce their channel to American viewers. Let's hope they'll stay faithful to their serious reporting and not get affected by the superficial journalism of CNN, Fox News and MSNBC.
