Title: Adios Al Jazeera America. The network closes its door.
Post by: Wilikon on January 14, 2016, 04:05:52 PM




    Al Jazeera America, the low-rated cable news network that sought to take on Fox News and CNN, will shut down operations at the end of April, less than three years after going on the air, the network told its staff Wednesday in a surprise move…

    AJA hoped to be a straightforward, non-partisan alternative to other news channels and was often praised by news analysts for the thoroughness and objectivity of its reporting. It hired a number of TV news veterans as program hosts and managers, including people from NBC, CNN and Fox News.

Huh. RIP I guess. I usually go to Al-Jazeera's English website anyway, so I'm not going to say that this is going to affect me much.

To be honest, I haven't followed this channel a lot , but every time I checked it, it has the same broadcast in Aljazeera English. The difference between them wasn't big
