I find it interesting that the United States doesn't seem to matter as much as us Americans think to the rest of the world. There seems to be a lack of coverage of U.S. affairs when looking at foreign media sources. However, I don't think this is unusual. Those media outlets should cover what is important to them locally. That is the same reason why a small event in another country is not covered here in the United States.
I think the internet will be one of the only and most effective tools that Al Jeezera can use. I don't believe they will ever be able to broadcast nationally in the U.S. like most news media outlets so they must use what they have available to them.
I think they should be allowed to broadcast in the U.S. but like all news organizations I believe they should be closely monitored by some sort of watchdog agency.
They seem to cover a wide variety of news. Many different topics and many different nations.
I'm not sure if any news organization is really adhering to their Code of Ethics any more but it seems like Al Jazeera is no better or worse then other news sources in that regard.
