Glenn Greenwald — Al Jazeera America Terminates All TV and Digital Operations

Executives of Al Jazeera America (AJAM) today are holding a meeting at 2 p.m. Eastern Time to tell their employees that the company is terminating all news and digital operations in the U.S. as of April 2016, resulting in the loss of hundreds of jobs. The announcement marks a stunning and rapid collapse of what, from the start, has been a towering failure.

I was invited on several times and I actually appeared on a segment once, last year. They never invited me back and this was probably why. They knew they were shutting down.

this oil collapse must be really pinching them over there Mike... this imo is a pretty drastic move...

Didnt they pay Al Gore like $300M for his POS cable thing a few years ago? oil was probably still $100 then....
