Al Jazeera does have some of the best international coverage, simply because they have the money to still have foreign bureaus and because the local government gave them freedom to report on anything... as long as they didn't criticize them.

They irritate some in this country, but that is nothing like the reactions they get in the Middle East. They have a reporter on trial in Egypt and have had several killed. It is not appreciated when the news they carry differs from the official local government line.

They are starting a new service called Al Jazeera Plus. It will start in the fall and is based in San Francisco, but with offices on all the continents. The main reason for this is that the cable companies forced them to block internet access in the US to Al Jazeera America as the price for their signal being carried.

By the way, Al Jazeera just means The Peninsula, which both Qatar and San Francisco are.
