Gansler hires broadcaster Wheelock as spokesman

Watching the debut this week of Al Jazeera America, I couldn't help but remember reviewing the first week of Erin Burnett's show on CNN in October 2011.

The heart of Al Jazeera America's prime-time lineup is an attractive one if you are looking for news, context and a fresh visual perspective on U.S. and world events.

I have been writing a lot about Al Jazeera since the Qatar-based news operation bought Al Gore's wreck of a channel in January to gain access to some 50 million U.S. homes.

Former WJZ reporter/anchor Adam May will have a prime-time role on Al Jazeera America, the channel announced Monday.

Bill Press writes that the failure of the gun background check compromise has caused him to lose faith in the political system.

Bill Press says the Manchin-Toomey compromise on guns isn't perfect but still represents major progress.

Reading some of the nutty coverage of Al Jazeera's purchase of Current TV from Al Gore, I am not sure whether the problem is ideology or ignorance when it comes to the sorry state of media criticism today.

Current TV, the prime-time home of Keith Olbermann, Wednesday announced a strong election-year move with Jennifer Granholm joining the channel in January to host a show weeknights at 9 following Olbermann's.

I have to admit I am troubled by the admission from David Bohrman, the longtime chief of CNN's political coverage, who acknowledged his liberal beliefs in an interview with Howie Kurtz on CNN's Reliable Sources Sunday.

After four nights of watching Keith Olbermann, there are two things I can say with some certainty.

I have to give Keith Olbermann and Current TV their due: For 58 minutes Monday night, they delivered an impressive premiere on the new "Countdown" show. Strong production values, reasonable discussions and no ugly over-the-top slanderous attacks on anyone.

The Monday premiere of "Countdown" on Current TV drew 179,000 viewers in the key A25-54 demo, according to figures released by the network.
