Do you notice that US officials don't even talk to Al-Hurra TV anymore? It is clear that the US government has given up on it and yet we taxpayers are still funding it. US officials found a free outlet in Al-Arabiya TV (owned by the brother-in-law of King Fahd (or one of the brothers-in-law). Do you notice that news broadcasts of Al-Arabiya TV has become indistinguishable from daily briefings at White House of State Department? Today, they began the news broadcast by saying that Al-Anbar militias are joining US and Iraqi puppet forces in military operations, and they always mention the "great security improvements." Also, here the wife of the former news director of Al-Hurra TV and Sawa Radio claims that he husband was squeezed out because he is "an Arab Muslim." She worked briefly at Al-Hurra TV but seems ashamed of the brief experience.
