In addition to reporting on the news, Alhurra and Radio Sawa stand apart from many other Arabic-language media in that they present all sides of sensitive issues not found in other media outlets. Alhurra and Radio Sawa also provide comprehensive coverage from the United States—politics, values and its people.

When I watched the video of the attack on Washington and seen the source of that vidio, a red flag went up and decided it may be worth the time to do some research.

You can decide for yourselves whether it's worth your time to click on the following links but, to me, it was very enlightening and, especially, how the 'news' can and is being centralized internationally.

Funny thing, I was watching one of the tv clips from around the WH. There was a thick crowd and a furious amount of babble, and it ALL sounded like Arabic.

Curious isn’t it but the links may explain it.

Alhurra is operated by the non-profit corporation “The Middle East Broadcasting Networks, Inc.” (MBN).

*****MBN is financed by the U.S. Government through a grant from the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG)****, an independent federal agency.

The BBG serves oversight and as a firewall to protect the professional independence and integrity of the broadcasters.

Thanks for that, being financed by the current government with Kerry being on The Board and others appointed by obama, what could possibly go wrong.

But, as you say, it is an independent agency.
