Al Jazeera is a very good news organization. It seems like a good match.

I know I'm playing obtuse here, but if we look past the prejudice, they are one of the better news sources. I have no problem with the sale and I think TWC as an organization has shown it's bigotry. If I still had cable, I would be looking for another cable provider.
