If you haven't checked out the Al Jazeera English site lately, you should. Since the launch of Al Jazeera International (finally), their english site has been cleaned up quite a bit. I'd say it definitely looks better than CNN's current layout.
An American distributor is yet to pick up Al Jazeera International, and I'm not sure if one will. It'd be a pretty risky investment, and it's hard to know if the advertisers would be there for it. Unlike CNN, though, they let you stream the channel for free off their site.
Go watch them for yourself. If there's one thing that many can agree on, it's that most of us have gotten our opinions of what Al Jazeera is second hand. Seeing it straight from the source should add some clarity.
