<free press in an Arab country> Any "free" press in USA, or just commercial ones??
Btw, one factor in the socalled "anti-americanism" around the world is access through
intrenet to the "free" american press, as well as TV over satellites.
With maybe two exceptions, PBS, always struggling with their budget and on a begging-spree,
and C-SPAN, payed by one cent per cablebox.
Would I be correct to assume you do not follow C-SPANs programming in terms of
US media, as well as not familiar with why C-SPAN exists (besides giving Newt,etc
another channel to orate in front of nobody in the congress, but sounding like
the congress would be packed)

As a matter of fact, most nations in the world try to avoid the dysfunctionality of
the US media, especially the TV-media.
Same thing for US-style polls (Also a regular topic on C-SPAN, when the pollsters
try to brag about how well they have been manipulating the polls)
Btw, most media-experts outside USA do not talk much about "unbiased media",
instead they concentrate on having a forum where the biased media can meet.
However, that is pretty difficult in a 2-party system. |
