If you are in to politics & following world affairs, get it now, it's really worth having. They have hired veteran news anchors e.g. Riz Khan & Raage Omaar to name a few.

PS: If you're in N. America, you can only it get thru' a satelite company called Globecast, Time Warner, Direct TV, Dishnetwork have all refused to offer Aljazeera English.

ARE ALL THEIR NEWS ANCHORS MUSLIMS LIKE RAAGE OMAR AND RIZ KHAN?

No, some are Muslim, some are non-Muslim, some are kizungu, some are kihindi, etc.

Raage Omaar has a documentary show that comes on once a week, 3 weeks ago he went to Shabelle region to cover the flooding crisis.

It's very provocative because they don't sugar-coat any issues like CNN does.

^buddy EVERY news organisation soft pedels the facts and that's because they must be amenable to the sensibilities and biases of their audience to be in business. that's why you should use Critical Thinking and get your news from a diverse sources.

It is worth watching Raage's show.
