I saw a fascinating little tidbit on FOX this afternoon. They were talking to former Ambassador Mark Ginsberg, a Middle East analyst that is often on their shows.
Ambassador Ginsberg was relating how he had spent quite a bit of time on Al Jazeera TV during the Democratic convention. The cool part is not only did they interview him, they had call-in questions from viewers from all over the Arab world. The viewers had never seen anything like this and were full of questions about what was going on. You'd maybe have expected the focus to be on America the Great Satan, but no, it was American Civics 101 they wanted to talk about.
Coolness. :)
