The Middle East media giant, Al Jazeera, continues its relentless expansion. The Qatari owned television news corporation Al Jazeera, has announced this morning that it will launch an American version after acquiring Current TV, the cable television platform of Al Gore.

The formula deeply informative programs, debates and documentaries released in 2005 by former U.S. Vice President will come to an end this 2013 with the total Al Jazeera landing in America. In a statement, the network has announced that it is a "historic" moment in his 16 years of life.

The new channel, which will be very international information also focused on U.S. information. Al Jazeera to double its workforce to 300 journalists and add new branches to the existing New York, Washington or Los Angeles. The new version could be baptized as 'Al Jazeera America' and at least 60% of the programming would be produced from new headquarters in New York. Thus, the chain catarí will be ready to stand up equal to CNN, BBC and Fox News, which already disputed the leadership outside U.S. borders.

I like their channel/website very much (its my favorite in fact) but the Qatari government is hypocritical. The government-owned channel advocates gay marriage and democracy and other nice liberal things while gay men in Doha are executed for being homosexuals. They are the ones that started this Arab Spring that toppled and murdered the great Gaddafi (AUN) and killed tens of thousands of civilians across the Middle East. Can an "Arab Spring" happen in Qatar? Hell no. Those protestor's faces would have been blasted by one of Hamad's soldiers in the streets of the capital. Native's rights, a working wage, the environment, abolishing slavery, democracy, free and fair elections, gay marriage, yada yada yada. All these liberal topics is what AJE focuses on; it's their expertise. It's all they talk about. It's like listening to Al Gore or some Scandinavian politician.

Al Jazeera English is an extremist leftist channel and its headquartered in Doha. The irony! The Qatari government should practice what it preaches.

Only network I watch, everyone else is crap

My only concern with Al Jazzera is that they're based in Qatar, which is a country we all know to be a dictatorship. Granted Qatar is totally an American bitch state, but still it concerns me....

The American government is worried of about the American population. Jews in Israel already hate Arabs, and are aware of their atrocities against the Palestinians. My beloved fat Americans are high on cheeseburgers. If America allows AJ, then it can't label the organization as propaganda and dismiss the news it provides to Americans.
