This hour on Here on Earth, join Jean Feraca after three as she talks with Al Jazeera anchor Dave Marash and others about the network’s fight for the U.S. audience.

Listener Comments
- Clarence 11/28/06: "I would listen to Al-Jazeera because I like to hear the other side, knowing full well that it would be slanted to the Muslim perspective, just as I listen to WPR, knowing that it's slanted to the liberal side. I might very well disagree with most of what they have to say but I respect their right to say what they want."
