Al Jazerra

Here in Kenya, I get to watch Al Jazeera on cable. It is all programming in English, the anchors are from the UK, the reporeters are very international. I think in the US we have this mis-conception that Al Jazeera is the terrorist network, that any crazy can get on and make threats, that the journalism is flawed. I have found that it is a pretty good news network, very globally focused (i.e. reporting from all over the place a la BBC news), and fairly impartial (of course you can read the negative sub-text when they start talking about Israel). It is far better than Fox News (shocking), and I would rate it up there with the BBC. Worth a watch.
