Al Jazeera - real news?

Hilary Clinton said: "Viewership of Al Jazeera is going up in the United States because it's real news. You may not agree with it, but you feel like you're getting real news around the clock instead of a million commercials and, you know, arguments between talking heads and the kind of stuff that we do on our news which, you know, is not particularly informative to us, let alone foreigners."

It's certainly refreshing to hear about countries from their own people and perspective.  "The Cafe" is Al Jazeera's talk show set in cafes around the world and featuring conversations with local leaders and experts.
