Al Jazeera has spent over $1 Billion on a television network startup to debut in more than 40 million households in May.

British reporter David Frost and former Nightline correspondent Dave Marash will cover the stories that the Western media overlook. Headquartered in Qatar and broadcasting from Washington, London and Kuala Lumpur, Al Jazeera is the most ambitious startup venture to go up against the Western monopolies of infotainment.

Bush must be throwing a temper tantrum over this news. I know he tried to cook their goose more than once!
