»HOWTO watch al-Jazeera's English-language broadcasts
Although no U.S. broadcaster has begun carrying al-Jazeera's new English-language channel, you can watch it over the internets -- for free, if you can stand the tiny video frame that Real supports. Ignore the instructions on their web site -- these are confusing, if colourfully illustrated, and do not apply to viewers in the States.
Don't expect stories about the States, though; the anchors and analysts may be speaking language we recognise, but that does not mean that they are talking about you. You will hear about stories that American stations simply don't cover. You will also hear commentary and perspectives from sources that American broadcasters rarely interview. This is a different perspective on world news, available in English. Although I am tempted to compare it to the propaganda-laden Voice of America, al-Jazeera does not speak for a specific political entity.
You will hear stories that my sister produced! Big up to the lil sis.
UPDATE: Google Video has the goods.
