There was Al Jazeera America, but it couldn't make itself profitable. But we still have Al Jazeera English:

Al Jazeera use to be a reliable source of news, back when Donald Rumsfeld called it a propaganda network. Today it's pretty much just another part of the US/EU propaganda network.

People like to think NPR or BBC are different, but they're not. They spit out whatever is handed to the in government/company press releases.

Al Jazeera is a non-profit ran by the Qatari government. It was never meant to be profitable. It did shut down because oil prices went down and the Qatari government had to make some cuts.
