There's no need to demand AJE in the US, because AJE is handling new media intelligently and is widely available. I can watch AJE on my PS3, computer, or even my iPhone. They're one of the few networks in the world that supports free and unlimited streaming options to all.

Streaming is not the only thing in the world.

A perfect example of the Internet treating censorship as damage and routing around it.

You bring up good points but there still is a need. There are plenty of people who wont even consider news that isn't on TV. Having a mainstream channel that disagrees with Fox and CNN would be a great thing IMO.

But you also post on HN, making you a very unstereotypical consumer of media in the U.S. My parents would find it more difficult.

Especially considering the massive campaign of misinformation against AlJazeera during the build up of the Iraq war.
