So Aljazeera America is biting the dust? No tears for the soon to be unemployed MSNBC rejects. Ahh the vagaries of journalistic prostitution.
I confess to being one of the elite viewers who watched AA in its early incarnation. That says more about the sad state of TV news than it does about the greatness of OPEC's house organ. Some of us like information and fair and balanced discussions don't work well for us. AA still did old fashioned narrative news reporting offering a global perspective that was not always propagandistic. That might sound like faint praise but given the mutts of competition, AA was often Best Of Show.
Bye bye Aljazeera America. Wonder who gets their cable slot.
