But we have enough cable news stations. Can't imagine why AJ would try for foothold in this market.

Direct TV, Comcast, Brighthouse would drop them in a heartbeat if they ever hinted about becoming radical Muslim, so no worries there.
Probably because not all Muslims are killers and some want to hear some unbiased news from their own part of the world.
