Why would anyone watch this?

For now, in the honeymoon period, it's less biased than CNN?

Just a guess. I won't watch either one.

I have major problems with old "Honest" Abe, but he got THIS ONE right!

Not satisfied that the domestically based media outlets were not sufficiently destructive of our values and customs, comes now the muslim owned Al Jazeera. (THANK YOU ALGORE!)

“At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic giant to step the ocean and crush us at one blow Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years.

“At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”

Abraham Lincoln, 1837

Make a snappy motto. I wonder if James Earl Jones is available to do the voice over.

Easy, Al Jazeera is more honest.

I watched AJ English when we had it on Roku, and it had very good coverage of world news. It was much better than the US networks. Of course they are biased, duh, but you just keep that in mind while watching. They had great coverage of the unrest in Egypt and the fighting in Syria.
