Soledad O’Brien joins Al Jazeera America  321   934  
    
By HADAS GOLD | 7/1/13 9:21 AM EDT

Former CNN morning show host Soledad O’Brien will be joining Al Jazeera America as a special correspondent, the network announced Monday.

O’Brien will contribute short-form segments to Al Jazeera America’s current affairs magazine program “America Tonight,” and her production company Starfish Media Group will produce hourlong documentary specials.

“O’Brien’s career producing and reporting on the human side of many of the most important stories of the past decade will fit in perfectly with what Al Jazeera America will be covering every day,” Ehab Al Shihabi, executive director of Al Jazeera’s international operations and the senior executive developing the new channel, said in a statement. “Her dedication to that type of journalism is what makes it so exciting to announce that she and her production company are joining the Al Jazeera America team.”

Soledad was probably offered a choice between FoxSnooze or Al Jazeera...
She opted to work for the more honest of the two.

Al Jazeera is a much better source for your news that Fox, MSNBC, or CNN.

The Al-Jazeera news channel is coming to Time Warner.

LOL!

How about she is so bad that PMSNBC won't even pick her up.

Fox News is the #1 rated news channel, they don't want washed up slugs with 10 fans.

But hey! She'll fit right in with Channel Islam....She'll have the same ratings as before.

No, all three MSM, NBC,CBS & ABC have higher news ratings than FoxSnooze.  
FoxSnooze is #1 ON CABLE

He has a point. Foznews is #1 on cable.

Charlie Sheen's new show, Anger Management,  has almost as many viewers as Fox News Prime Time.

Neither can touch the Walking Dead, who gets 2 and a half times as many viewers.

Fox News gets 2.9 million prime time viewers on it's best nights(Boston Bombing Manhunt),
and 1.77 million during the rest of the day..

ABC Evening News - 8 million

NBC Nightly News - 7 million

CBS News - 6 million.

But hey, if you want to believe that Foxnews is number one, go ahead. They believe it too.

As of April 2009, the Fox News channel was available to 102 million households in the United States and to viewers internationally.

They still aren't viewed by over 95% of available places where they are broadcast.

Teen Mom blows Fox News away.

Your brain has absorbed too many fair and balanced delusions.

n the first quarter of 2013 the trends for cable news viewership are affirming past performance.
And once again, Fox News is losing viewers at a faster rate than its competitors.



While remaining on top overall, Fox lost nearly 20% of its total audience as compared
to the same period last year.
Even worse, in the critical advertising demographic of 18-54 year olds, Fox scared off a full
third of their viewers.
Only MSNBC managed to stay relatively flat, holding onto most
of their audience.


Fox... the old, right wing, white guy imitation news channel!

All MSM is on the decline, since FOX is number 1 at the moment they will obviously have more people to lose then to say MSNBC. Either way I see it as a good thing people looking into other sources for their news.

I'm not defending FOX, I believe all MSM are basically agenda driven so the more people looking elsewhere is fine with me. I get most of my news off the internet because the media doesn't like to cover half the stories that should be important to Americans.

I'm suprised yahoo has more than Google, I think Google news does a much better job keeping up to date. On yahoo, I click on things sometimes and they are old links and stories.
