NEW YORK (AP) — In a warren of offices at a former bank building near
Madison Square Garden, dozens of journalists are at work on gleaming new
electronic equipment, ready to turn their test runs of Al-Jazeera
America into the real thing.

The Qatar-based news organization will finally establish a firm foothold
on American television Tuesday after a decade of trying. At 3 p.m. EDT,
Al Gore's former Current TV will turn out the lights in more than 45
million TV homes, replaced by the new U.S. affiliate of Al-Jazeera.

The network has hired many veterans of U.S. television, including John
Seigenthaler, Joie Chen, Antonio Mora and Sheila MacVicar, and is
promising a meaty diet of news that it believes will contrast with the
opinionated talk that dominates American news networks.

"We're breaking in with something that we think is unique and are
confident, with our guts and some research, that the American people are
looking for," said Kate O'Brian, the former ABC News executive who is
now Al-Jazeera America's president.

This ought to be an absolute farce and immense waste of their money,
which the US greatly needs. I'm OK with it.


Have you ever watched Al-Jazeera television news broadcasts? They're
certainly more "newsy" than the right-wing political crap Fox serves up
to its brain-challenged audiences.

They have already been dinged for a fake story.
