The hosts covered topics the MSNBC crowd shies away from.

Starting next week (I think), it will be the new home of Al Jazeera America. Entirely new company, none of the current programs will continue.

Reminds me of Walter Cronkite.
Sad the programs are not continuing, E-mail them, many they will make time for them.

Supposedly, AlJazeera America will be fully-staffed with US reporters and anchors, and only some of the international news will be reported via AlJazeera English. Reporters and on-air talent supposedly comes mostly from CNN, MSNBC, and the 3 US major networks and their affiliates.

Once Keith was gone I didn't feel like paying the extra $25.00 a month just for Cenk and Spitzer.

I think I had a crush on JG. Articulate, quick-witted, and a beautiful woman in the bargain. I don't look much now, but she seems to be gone. Every time I do tune in, it's "John Belushi's Last 24" or some junk like that.

Just get rid of the TV altogether.

In a couple of days you'll discover tons of free time you never knew you had.

A week or so later you'll remember that you do know how to read more than three sentences at a stretch.

Your kid's school grades will improve.

After a few more weeks, you'll start to lose weight simply because you are moving, (this might begin a trend).

And if none of this turns out to be true, you will at the very least, saved a couple of hundred dollars for yourself while denying it to the fascist assholes that are financed through the cable company you feed even though you hate everything they do.
