It is virtually impossible to subscribe to the new Al Jazeera in the U.S or Canada. Many people in these countries, when they hear the words Al Jazeera, they immediately think of an Arab news channel that takes the side of terrorists in their reporting, and support Osama Bin Laden. They believe it spews anti-American and anti-Israel rhetoric 24/7. But I subscribe to it via Jump TV online, and it is absolutely nothing at all like that.

Al Jazeera has some of the best electronic and newspaper journalists in the world working for them. Their production values are A+ and the news, although presented from a different perspective, is in no way anti-American or anti-Israel, and treats all reports in a reasonable even-handed manner.

I urge people to go to www.jumptv.com and give Al Jazeera English a try. I think you will find your horizons expanding just a bit more.

POP, for your comments Zazel.

I've watched it a couple of times Zasel, & I agree with you

Well my cable news provider carries both TVE and BBC World, which is a welcome respite from the American 24hrs news networks (and dropped Faux News like a stone).

I would like to get Al J. too. How do I do that?
I have only watched it one time, and I would like to see for myself what you are talking about.

You can go to www.jumptv.com and one of the choices is Al Jazeera English. They charge a monthly or quarterly rate, I forget as I have it charged to my credit card regularly, but it is very inexpensive. Then you can watch in at their Web site 24/7.
