History
On July 26, 2013 the network announced that former Good Morning America host and award-winning journalist Antonio Mora would host a current events talk show called Consider This. The first episode of the show highlighted the hunger strike and court-approved force-feeding in California's prison system. Other episodes have highlighted issues such as the U.S. education system, sexual assault on college campuses, foreign issues, Native American issues, LGBT issues, poverty, the government, science, and investigative reports. Notable guests have included former president Jimmy Carter and racing legend Jackie Stewart among others. The show absorbed much of the former Current TV staff based in New York City that had been part of the show Viewpoint.
The show was cancelled on February 2, 2015 after a reorganization of Al Jazeera America's programming schedule.
It was later replaced by the weekly program Third Rail.
