Unlike CNN, where Anderson Cooper’s New York show operates as it wishes BECAUSE IT’S ANDERSON COOPER, YO!, and Atlanta is so, so far away, Al Jazeera English is too influenced by its Qatar headquarters — which is why American news anchor Dave Marash quit. With his two-year contract up, Marash went for the exit sign, as have 15 other staffers in recent months. No worries, though; in the U.S., the channel has yet to find any distribution, which means unless you’re logging on to YouTube, the tidal wave of departures won’t really affect your media diet.
