Regardless, if there's a faint hope that the interactive feedback (some of their news appears to interact with tweets and Facebook weighing in on what they're presenting in "real time&quot , I'll be more encouraged.

Greenwald's article is excellent, by the way. He had every hope I did and still do.

Meanwhile... Al Jazeera is VERY polished and is trying VERY hard to win over audiences, but with the enormous PR related industry firmly backing it's success, it's gonna do what it can to win viewership. I shouldn't kid myself, even though I'm looking for the next Al Gore/Current run network... I'll keep supporting Amy Goodman and newer internet based options.
