I've been following Al Jazeera since it's recent US launch, and they've been doing good coverage. My main news site now is the Guardian - I used to follow the Washington Post and NYT, until they put up paywalls, and now I ration my visits.
Today, Al Jazeera posted a commentary by Dan Froomkin, "Shutdown coverage fails Americans". I've read similar stories on Slate and Politico, and I'm sure there are plenty of others out there, but I do appreciate Al Jazeera putting a story like this up front and center.
