Never thought that I would be able to say this, But after watching Aljazeera(America) for 30 days, I find it to be the best news channel on TV(IMHO)

Unbiased reporting- one good article after another- No idiotic and untrained pretty faces spewing idiological garbage. Just national and international news.

Anyone else watching?

Yes, I agree...reminds me of what CNN used to be like...straight news, no nonsense, no pretending that there's always two sides to a story...often there's only one side, one story.
It's channel 107 on Comcast.

Yes, agree with your post, we have been watching since it started. In our opinion it is the only viable news station on the air. Excellent reporting with no political overtone - thank goodness. About time we had a decent news program in this country.

Unfortunately, many people think the name alone makes it a terrorist station! But, ignorance is bliss and always will be.:sigh:

I hardly ever watch news anymore. I'm trying to stop worrying about things over which I have no control.

That's why I stopped watching 60 Minutes.

Me too. Those of us who responsibly did what responsible people should do, Tried to help, volunteer, guide our children with strength and compassion and set a good example are now getting tired.

It takes a lot of energy to get emotionally involved with issues. I have thrown in the towel. I can't effect change on most things.

I care. So my blood pressure goes up and my heart rate increases and I get stress related stuff when I watch the horrible things humans do to other humans on TV.

And just like everyone else who is older. Our family wants us to hang around as long as we can. So that prayer that ends with...and the wisdom to know the difference is now my prayer..

Exactly, Gracie. Well said. We applaud our kids and nephew & niece & their spouses for what they are doing. We are glad the young care so much; they are the ones with the energy right now.
