Few people can elucidate the historical roots of the Middle East troubles better than Tom Friedman, but as a journalist he's still stuck in old think. His much chortled over column that suggest we all fly naked as a way to help shorten airport check-in time was cribbed from Jeff Jarvis' weblog. The idea was, anyway. So apparently he reads that which he heaps scorn upon. Rather than criticize Arab media, (like shooting fish in a barrel) I wish Friedman and other media types would tout the small independent Iranian TV station that broadcasts from Los Angeles. It's run by an Iranian exile and is critical of the present regime. He also has guests on who were celebrities in Iran before the ayatollahs took over. There are Iranian versions of Frank Sinatra and Milton Berle who are still popular there with those who remember them. The station is popular with younger people, too. The government succeeded for awhile in blocking his signal, but he's switched satellite companies and as far as I know he beams in there unimpeded now. It's sad that US corporations still advertise on Al-Jazeera but ignore this guy's TV station.
