Tonight at 7:30PM eastern on Al Jazeera America their show The Stream will be discussing Internet Gambling for a whole half hour. Not sure who they will have for guests but it should be interesting. They interact with viewers via Twitter and Skype while the show is live.

Vin is a good guy.

I wonder if the two Adelson supporters have thought through appearing on Al Jazeera, of all places .......given the unwelcome taste such an association is likely to leave with their benefactor.

I suspect Adelson thinks less of Al Jazeera than he does of online gambling......

Someone should tip off Sheldon to this appearance, LOL. Wonder if he is being asked to PAY Al Jazeera for this programing ......

(Damn, I tried to watch, I thought it would "stream" online .......)

Yeah no US stream thanks to the cable companies. In order for AJAM to broadcast in the US they had to kill their live stream and youtube channel to US viewers.
