To compare the arrival of Al Jazeera America with the now-scrapped takeover of the Los Angeles Times by right-wing billionaires who think the current minimum wage makes people complacent because they're doing so well is ridiculous ("Maybe let's be wary of the new Al Jazeera?" Sept. 2).
Letter of the Day (Sept. 6): Al Jazeera vs. the Koch brothers
September 6, 2013 at 3:28AM
I would be very upset if Al Jazeera bought, say, the Star Tribune — the major and almost only source of printed news on Minneapolis — as opposed to, say, one of five sources of local TV news. I think it is already too hard to find a news organization that does not report the same information. If Al Jazeera is too biased, I can always change the channel, but it's hard to find a new paper.
