Thomas Friedman claims that he reads the Arabic press

"I told the president that joke because in reading the Arab and Israeli press this week." First, O Thomas Friedman, that joke was not a joke. I was so bored reading it that I could not finish it to reach your alleged punch line. Secondly, you don't read the Arab press (and you don't even read the Israeli press). You read what is published in English and then you rely on what MEMRI sends you from the Arabic press. So let us be honest here. (thans Nick)
