Below are a few choice words by Juan Cole(middle east expert) regarding the US run TV in Iraq.......sounds like it's must watch TV!!!!!!!



Allam notes that the US alternative, al-Hurra, provides less than an hour of hard news per day, and is widely ridiculed in Iraq as the gardening channel because of the pablum in which it specializes. Even when it does news, it can't be very effective. I saw a program list recently, and it started off with an interview with Elie Wiesel about how he can't support the Palestinian cause because Palestinians engage in violence. At a time when the US siege of Fallujah was fresh in everyone's minds, this must have struck Arab viewers as the crock of steaming excrement that it is. And if that is the lead segment on the US-provided 45 minutes of news, then the US may as well not bother. (Only 6% of Arab viewers watch al-Hurra anyway, I understand).
