At first I didn't notice too much of a difference than any other international news, but the more I watched the more I began to see a difference.
I think that Al Jazeera is trying to attempt to reach an America audience by selecting an American-friendly type of reporter. All of the reporters that I saw were women with British accents, I wonder if this was done on purpose.
I did not see anything that was very obvious that would not allow it to broadcast in the US. Much of it was political based, in all parts of the world, not just centered to the assumed Middle East. I think the news cast was balanced between many different stories.
One of the things that is different than the way the US is is spend a lot of time on international issues compared to America just focusing on only American news.I feel as though the US only cares about our issues, even our international news always relates back to America in some way. This seemed less censored and less focused on one region.
I felt as though the Code of Ethics they published fit exactly what I saw. I cannot say for sure if it is the entire truth, but I felt as though they were fair to all cultures and were not holding back on what they did broadcast.
