I was fortunate to get Al Jazeera America for a couple of years through DirectTV, but most Americans didn't have access to it, and surprise! bad ratings equals cancellation. It wasn't perfect, but it was much better than any American corporate TV news. They did some hard-hitting documentaries (including one on the USS Liberty). They regularly did real stories about real problems around the world, not the phony distractions and manufactured-angry-drama-about-nothing that we Americans have become so used to.
