Iraqis inexplicably eschew Brit Hume
It seems Iraqis are not tuning in to the generous media diet that the US is providing them. For some reason, they are eschewing Peter Jennings’s reporting on the Laci Peterson case and Tom Brokaw’s “Fleecing of America” segments and turning instead to al-Alam, an all-news channel being broadcast in Arabic from Iran. Who could have predicted that Iraqis wouldn’t groove on Fox News?
“I am a media man,” says Haidar Ali al-Assadi, one of al-Alam’s Baghdad correspondents, “and I can make people either for or against America.” I wonder which it will be.
