Al Jazeera English on Youtube is a great source for news
I watch it on a daily basis. They cover alot more than the US media.

I admit I listen to NPR too but I think Al Jazeera is much more informative.

The US media seems to try to condition us to think Al Jazeera is some radical Islamist mouthpiece but that's far from reality.

1. Agreed
I turned it on for the first time last night and was pleasantly surprised. The reporting was straight-up with no histrionics.

It seemed like the most purely fact-driven newscast I've seen in ages.

2. They are considered the most intelligent and honest news reporters.
Logic tell us that they should be the most popular. In the real world people like lies rather than the truth. Sad but true.

3. They are EXCELLENT! I LOVE the diversity of their talking heads.
Their "Witness" programs open a window to anyone who wishes to understand the experiences of others.
