Hillaryous! Flashback: Hillary describes Americans' appetite for Al Jazeera's 'real news' [Vine]

Al Jazeera America, which hasn’t even been on the air for three years, will be shutting down and ceasing operations.

A couple years before Al Jazeera purchased Al Gore’s Current TV and turned it into Al Jazeera America, Hillary Clinton told a Senate committee that Americans had a real appetite for the news operation:

Clinton in 2011: “In fact, viewership of Al Jazeera is going up in the United States because it’s real news.”

Is that kind of keen eye for business trends why Hillary wants to be in charge of “investing” Americans’ tax dollars?
