The Bush administration had often branded the news network as a resource for terrorists – particularly al-Qaeda.
AJI management insists that the network will uphold an international point of view and cultural diversity.
"No holds barred, political ideology, party affiliation. When people actually see the product, I think a lot of that (criticism) is going to go away," said Dave Marash, a former ABC correspondent who’ll co-anchor one of the daily newscasts.
Most American cable firms have refused to broadcast AJI though, and in the meantime it will be available at English.aljazeera.net .
