Finally some good news on the media front. Al Jazeera America throws in the towel, and will end its US operations at the end of April.

Surprise surprise surprise
from CNN money
But from the beginning, Al Jazeera America has been beset by lousy ratings and internal strife.Two former employees filed lawsuits last year against the company with charges of anti-Semitism and sexism in the newsroom.

Amazing that we even allowed such a thing in the first place. Hell, our government would allow ISIS and al Qadea to operate media inside our borders, as long as they promised to be peecefool mooslims.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Yup, Al Gore owned the equally low rated and unwanted cable channel Current TV that Aljazeera replaced.
Hopefully the space will be used by something useful.
