U.S. Arabic channel a big turn-off for target audience

A TV channel aimed at selling the friendly face of America to the Middle East is proving to be something of a turn-off to the viewers it's meant to attract. And now, Al Hurra, an Arab-language network financed by U.S. taxpayers, is coming under attack in the American media over claims that it's a case of money down the drain.

the difference is i'm an individual and i'm open about my biases. Al-Hurra is a million-dollar propaganda organ set up by the US state dept that presents itself as objective journalism.

and last i checked, Youtube was an international site open to everyone. might want to learn about the internet bub, national boundaries don't exist here.
