and now if I need to scan the news for anything visual, they're my go to station on satellite simply because they report the news without all the yellow journalism and loaded language every other outlet specializes in (yes, Rachel, I'm looking at you too, but you've never pretended it was anything but commentary).

I doubt I'll ever see a pro Israel or anti Palestinian Arab story there, but those are all over the place elsewhere and I don't miss them. That seems to be their one editorial bias.

Their satellite station in Kabul was likely up and running in record time thanks to the Sheik of Qatar's incredibly deep pockets. He funds it but has tied it up in a lot of legalese that prevents him from any direct control, although a cousin runs it.

An unbiased news source in the US. No wonder all conservatives despise it, the Bush family most of all.
