I watched AJA when it first came on. Sure, it was biased, but I liked watching news that wasn't so focused on Obama 24/7. It had a lot of world news lacking on American channels, plus some focus on the arts (real arts, not rap music and Hollywood). There was even a cooking show with a woman dressed in Muslim garb showing how to make various Mediterranean/Middle Eastern dishes. It was a heckuva lot better than Current, which toward the end of its life kept playing an anti-Walmart documentary in an almost continuous loop.

It's sad that we can't have a news channel that is unbiased, that delivers all the news (not just stories that fit an agenda) and maybe reports more world news about things other than Obama, terrorists and overpaid celebrities.

Right now, the best we have is FoxNews, which for how long that will last.

When FoxNews started talking about Kardashians or O'Reilly was being too annoying (which is most of the time), I would also switch over to al Jazeera. It was less biased and strident than MSNBC and more interesting than CNN. They did actually focus on events and news more so than any other cable channel.

Happy to see them crumble, but there is a void of real hard news on cable. Most are too focused on analysis and celebrity and political score keeping - including Fox.
