How much different is that target market from TV's mainstream media viewers?

I imagine they'd tend to be along the older side, maybe not having adjusted to new ways of acquiring the news.

And they can read. I'm starting to have my doubts about the other group in that regard.

Al Jazeera's top news director Wadah Khanfar resigned Tuesday after eight years as the network's top executive. The move came after a WikiLeaks cable suggested that Khanfar changed the network's coverage of the Iraq War as a result of U.S. pressure, The New York Times reports.

If that's really a reason not to trust Al-Jazeera, perhaps you might want to look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News_Channel_controversies#Talking_points_from_Bush_White_House

I'm not sure if it will bother you that the Bush White House was telling Fox how to frame its commentary, but it looks mightily close to propaganda to me. When this was all revealed, of course, nobody resigned.
