During the 2AM hour (our time) on Monday I watched Al Jazeera talk about the shahab-3 missile threatening other countries with range, russia is asking for cooperation from iran, Theodore Karasik talks about potential war in the middle east, Tropical Storm Katsana on Saturday in the Philippines, and much more. Later into the 2AM hour I watched some of Russia Today talk about the Russian Naval Orchestra, Russia and belarus test new joint defense system in militay games, Col. Gen. Leonid Maltsev talks about the military games, Iran tests long range missiles as tension over nuclear aims mounts: Iran has long range missiles and threatens other countries, Merkel wins in Germany and says to revive econonmy and protect jobs, French foreign minster appeals to US in hope Polanski can be released on bail: pleading guilty to underage sex charges. Later during that hour I caught the following on the France 24 channel: Merkel is trying to protect jobs in Germany, Iran tests long range missiles, Philippines government overwhemed by deadly floods in the philippines, Socialists win election in Portugal and US atlanta's georgian bank becomes US's latest bank failure.

AL JAZEERA
I think the Al Jazeera new network will be very successful in reaching the U.S. through the internet with programs like LiveStation. Due to our relationshp with the middle east right now, people care about what's happening over there.

I think the Al Jazeera should be allowed to broadcast in the U.S. Our country has always been for civil rights like freedom of speech and such ideas.

From what I saw, Al Jazeera was a very to the point news station. It functioned very much like other large news stations, very formal and serious.

During the hour that I watched, I didn't see anything that broke their code of ethics, they had a pretty general "Murrow-based" code for the most part.
