The Failed Pacifist

Dave Marash Quits Al Jazeera

Dave Marash, the American anchor of Al Jazeera English is quitting the news channel. He says there is too much editorial control coming from headquarters in Qatar.

Mr. Marash also said he feuded with network executives and producers about the pace of the news broadcasts. He had expected that Al Jazeera English would "slow down the tempo of conventional news channels" by offering fewer stories in greater depth, but that did not happen.
