Al Jazeera English Debuts Tomorrow

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


After many false starts, Al Jazeera reports that its English-language service is ready to launch tomorrow. The new channel will feature some old journalism hands, such as as former ABC correspondent Dave Marash and BBC vet David Frost. It will also introduce a newly minted correspondent, Josh Rushing, better known as the sympathetic Marine PR flack from the 2004 documentary “Control Room.” Our Dan Schulman just profiled him in our current issue. Check it out. The Pentagon has, so far, not announced any plans to bomb your local cable affiliate.

(And check out Rushing’s new website: Looks like someone just got his honorary kaffiyeh from the Anderson Cooper Correspondence School for Correspondents.)

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
