I have to admit that I haven't really looked, as I don't watch that much politically oriented TV. For me it's mostly sports, local news, and documentary type stuff.
It never really occurred to me until just a while ago... do they support our intervention, oppose it, or take a neutral stance?

(180 posts)If anything, their anchors definitely lean towards non-intervention. Tony Harris had an interview earlier and he was scoffing at the idea that not bombing Syria makes us look weak, for example. So were the guests.
At best, AJA seem skeptical that we've made a good argument to intervene, and I think that's the most rational and logical position right now. I'm a big fan of this station.
