Al Jazeera is moving forward with its newly launched conservative channel despite an open letter from at least 100 critical staff members, a network executive said Thursday.
"We're going ahead with Rightly," said Michael Weaver, senior VP of business development and growth in Al Jazeera's digital division. "We believe in what we're doing and the company believes in what we're doing. It's our direction."
Weaver said he was deeply involved with the creation of the new digital platform, which launched Thursday with its first show, "Right Now with Stephen Kent." The interview program will address, according to an Al Jazeera announcement, "the issues animating right-of-center Americans today."
The Guardian reported that 100-plus staffers - including several executive producers, presenters and correspondents - signed a letter decrying the new effort and saying that news of Rightly was "met with shock, confusion and criticism."

I haven't listened to it yet, as I have no idea how to.
But am certainly keeping an eye out, for information.
If anyone knows how to read/watch, please post.
Thanks.
Unfortunately this will probably lead to a spike in right wing anti-Zionism.
What could possibly go wrong with this concept?
Like hiring a bunch of wolves to herd the sheep...
They could be way right of cnn msnbc cbs abc and still be communists.
Sound Trojan Horsey and I can’t imagine who’d jump on board, but they must have realised the conservatives are the only things keeping the dems from giving the middle east to Iran.

Well that's encouraging, but I'm not buying it. Be on the look out people they are looking for ways to infiltrate and spread Q type disinformation.
The reason the staff is not on board is because they are not in on the strategy. IMHOP
I expect it to be a Chinese-financed effort to exploit divisions in the Republican Party to decrease the Republicans’ ability to oppose the Chinese-owned Dem Party.
See lots of support for that here.
Perhaps, if (Zionists) don’t want Al Jazeera to gain right-wing support, they might want to provide some competition.
Right now they all seem to be providing guidance, financing (and frankly near monopoly control) of America’s entire media monolith.
Left-wing, all.
Both al jazerra and Russia Today are more objective than any of the alphabet-network news organizations.
We Report, You Suicide!

So you're one of those people who thinks that "Zionism" is a plot to rule the world. I suppose you believe the "Protocols?"
Zionism is not a plot to rule the world. It has nothing to do with "international bankers." It has nothing to do with the "new world order." It is merely an (unfortunately) secular nationalist movement for Jews similar to Irish republicanism. That's all it is.
George Soros is not a Zionist. Klaus Schwab (or whatever his name is) isn't a Zionist. The liberal media isn't "Zionist." In fact, it's blatantly anti-Israel, though for some reason some people out there want to pretend that it isn't.
Where did you come from--Stormfront???
You have no idea how it might turn out so just watch and see.
Rightly.
The YouTube channel.
First show. 335 subscribers thusfar.
Hope they also find another outlet, after what happened to Donald Trump.
For real.
Thanks very much!
How long before it is de-platformed by YouTube?
Blah blah blah.
Nope.
I like Al Jazeera. Compared to CNN and MSNBC, even with its bias, it’s downright refreshing. And they don’t treat their viewers like imbeciles.
I was interviewed for a piece on Al Jazeera based on my Reopen Maryland activism. Sounds like they see a market.
