Quote reblogged from Soup with 587 notes

In fact viewership of al Jazeera is going up in the United States because it’s real news. You may not agree with it, but you feel like you’re getting real news around the clock instead of a million commercials and, you know, arguments between talking heads and the kind of stuff that we do on our news which, you know, is not particularly informative to us, let alone foreigners.

Related: Al Jazeera actually covers foreign news, whereas Fox News/CNN/MSNBC cover news that impacts Americans that happens in foreign countries. There’s a difference. I wrote about this at my other blog for class a few years ago, after Robert Kaplan examined this for The Atlantic.
