Al Jazeera America has already poached Ali Velshi and Soledad O’Brien from CNN, and the latest report is that the network that will begin airing on some outlets in the U.S. next month has signed former CNN lefty anchor David Shuster.

As Neil Clark Warren of eHarmony.com might say, some tweeters see multiple dimensions of compatibility:

Not exactly surprising; birds of a feather… Report: @DavidShuster Joining Al Jazeera America huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/21/dav…— johnny dollar (@johnnydollar01) July 22, 2013

Even though there are reports that David Shuster will join Al Jazeera America, what remains to be seen is to what degree Al Jazeera America joins America:

Here’s the real funny part:

The Times’ Brian Stelter wrote that Al Jazeera America will cover more domestic than foreign news and “operate much like CNN (though the employees say they won’t be as sensational) and Fox News (though they say they won’t be opinion-driven).”

And what better way for a network to prove they won’t be opinion driven than going out and hiring David Shuster and Soledad O’Brien?

In a separate story, Al Jazeera America also announced that their new president will be a 30 year veteran of ABC News:

Did Jordan Peele rip off Chris Rock’s ‘white people’s’ Independence Day tweet?

Independence Day emerged and went with nary a peep from Chris Rock this season. But comedian Jordan Peele ended up being available to “borrow” from Rock’s widely-criticized tweet from July 4, 2012.

Look kinda familiar?

Hey, Peele does a pretty good Obama impression on “Key and Peele.” Perhaps he was only looking to get their reasonable share associated with the bad interest Chris Rock got for their America-bashing tweet. You understand, you’ve gotta spread the wide range around.

Sleeping is really, really important.

1. Sleeping is a HUGE problem in the United States. It’s so bad that roughly 30% of American workers sleep less than six hours a night, according to NSF.

2. It’s even worse for people who work the night shift: Around 44% of American night-shift workers are sleep-deprived.

3. Approximately 7.5 million Americans fall asleep at the wheel each month.

4. About 64% of Americans who experience chronic pain also suffer from sleep deprivation, according to the 2015 poll by NSF.

5. Healthy people sleep approximately 18–23 minutes longer than those who experience chronic pain.

Basically, this is how you feel after an all-nighter:
