The Case For Al Jazeera America…

The Desert Sun’s Darryl James Jr. makes his case that Al Jazeera America offers a fresh perspective on news…

And what a refreshing change, CNN reincarnated, news reporting as it happens, and an American staff of anchors/reporters who were providing old-school reporting. From all over the world, it appears this group has more reporters in more corners of the world than any other news organization.

I was especially pleased to finally receive a full picture of what is happening in Ukraine, not a three-minute snippet but more than a half- hour to allow extensive reports coming in from Kiev, Russia, east Ukraine, Europe and the United States.

After a couple of days viewing, I felt I had found Nirvana, but truth be told, I was apprehensive about the Arabian connection, muted obviously by the shining faces of the American anchors and reporters.
