Quote: | Al Jazeera's English-language television news channel is all set to reach 80 million homes worldwide.
At 1200 GMT on Wednesday, Al Jazeera English will begin broadcasting from the network's main studios in Doha, Qatar.
The first such international news and current affairs channel with its headquarters in the Middle East, it will far exceed the original launch target of 40 million cable and satellite households.

I won't even bother to try to express my displeasure at this station, so I won't. I don't like it. Al Jazeera is a terrorist enabler organization, and it's a media outlet I just won't stand for.

I'm liking this new channel, it seems to have loads more stuff that the other channels don't even mention. Its definitely pro-western though. The Arabic version may not be though, but i wouldn't know as i don't speak Arabic.
