This Is NOT Surprising

WASHINGTON — The Arab news network Al Jazeera announced Thursday that Dave Marash, an award-winning former correspondent for ABC News' "Nightline," is joining its 24-hour English-language network, to be launched this spring.In an interview Thursday, Marash, 63, described his new position as "the most interesting job on Earth."

Calling Al Jazeera "a thoroughly respectable news organization," Marash, who will co-anchor the news from the network's Washington studio, said the new show aimed to "win the high end. We want to give the most sophisticated, most nuanced and most global view of the day's events."
