Television

Someone is bound to ask what its like to watch television here. I get it by satellite. Just as in the states, its filled with home shopping networks, news and religious shows. What stands out here is the diversity of languages and channels. After Russian, the most prominent languages are French, English and Arabic. There is also a Chinese station (broadcasting in English). Al Jazeera News Channel is particularly interesting. These guys take a big bashing in the U.S. every time Arab-U.S. tensions rise for being pro-Arab. I was surprised to see they broadcast in English (from London) and I don't find their news at all biased. Let us question our own news as well if we judge the foreign channels. Do we have propaganda on our U.S news channels? Bet your life we do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
