al Jazeera has been around for a while, but I just hadden thought about them as an alternative to the very day smug media of say CNN for instance. The good is that they allow us access to Middle Eastern opinion and media that we would normally not be able to see. It is a point of view that sees things differently that the USA, and that is sometimes a good thing to think outside of the box. I have been very impressed with some of their reporting. Especially when it comes to dealing with say our debt crisis.
Another impressive media outlet is The Atlantic, which is a really old magazine that I really hadn't thought about either. It also has interesting points of view. "Liberalish" one might say. However, I think unless a media formally claims one way or like Fox News or MSNBC takes visable punches at "sides" that it is difficult to really label.
