I've gotten addicted to watching Al Jazeera while I've been here, both because the programming is so good and because it's nice to have another voice when I'm in my hotel room. Two things about the channel that have surprised me:
-It takes the UN and its initiatives much more seriously than most US news programs do. (This could be a timing issue due to the important Iraq meeting coming up, etc.)
-The country that has received the most negative coverage is France. Again, this may be because of recent events (Iran policy, blood testing for immigrants) but it's interesting.
I plan to update about the weekend tomorrow.
