Make that former owner. The channel was doing so poorly, Algore ditched it, selling it to the terrorist-sympathizing news network Al Jazeera, giving them a platform to broadcast its terrorist-loving propaganda in the U.S. and making a huge profit on a dog of a television channel (gotta love those commie-libs loyalty to country). Well Al Jazeera is firing up the terrorist-loving news channel in this country tomorrow:
When Al Jazeera America hits TV on Tuesday, viewers will see familiar faces — and a new approach.
CNN vets Joie Chen and Soledad O’Brien are lending their big names to the in-depth documentary show “America Tonight,” and former NBC journalist John Seigenthaler will anchor prime-time’s “Nightly News.” But beyond the plucked-from-elsewhere star power, Al Jazeera America won’t resemble anything else in cable news.
“I really saw it as a completely different kind of opportunity,” says Chen, who signed up as anchor for what has been billed as the station’s flagship program after network brass pitched her a show in which storytelling and good journalism would trump sensationalism and fiery opinions.
They way Chen tells it, “America Tonight” will use its 9 p.m. slot to focus on news and current affairs while offering in-depth reporting.
“We will be doing thoughtful eight- to 12-minute pieces,” she says. “Sometimes the pieces will be off of the news of the day, but often it will not — instead, we will try to focus on stories that we don’t hear repeatedly in the news.”
