| AlJazeera News
Hey i just found this out and i love watching the news the more sources pov the better for me
so i thought i would let you guys know :P
So... Al Jazeera News is available for viewing on channel 175 (Shaw)
since its on a free preview (shame RT News isnt free too) thought you guys may be interested
not sure if its available for telus users but apparently they aren't available from every TV provider i think they were available on Bell for quite sometime
anyhow so far it seems great... none of that Entertainment BS or Snippets of Information merged in with attention grabbing lights and bs
kind of like the BBC channel except its not on Repeat as often
hope that doesnt change over time

Is it state run?
You want to see some fucked up news, watch CCTV during the tiananmen square massacre. Then watch TVB or CBC and compare them. Fun times 
EDIT: Here is the TVB broadcast from that night, which includes CCTV news footage. It's on Facebook, so I'm not sure if it will work for everyone: http://www.facebook.com/#!/video/vid...v=110785473915 | |

aljazeera has been rated the most unbiased news though and so far i havent noticed any WTF reports
