Al Mayadeen English

Al Mayadeen is a Lebanese pan-Arabist satellite news television channel based in the city of Beirut. Launched on 11 June 2012, it has news reporters in most of the Arab countries. Unlike its competitors, the Qatar-owned Al Jazeera and Saudi-owned Al Arabiya, as well as Sky News Arabia, and BBC News Arabic, the network is known for promoting left-wing points of view and religious plurality. At the time it was founded, most of the channel's senior staff were former correspondents and editors of Al Jazeera.
