The London Guardian is reporting the entire Arab world now faces invasion by American television. The U.S. news report called “Iraq and the World” is currently being beamed into Iraq from a U.S. Air Force plane. Norman Pattiz, chair of the U.S. Broadcasting Board of Governors’ Middle East Committee, which is behind the project, he told The Guardian a full-service version of the newscast should be broadcasting 24 hours a day to 22 countries in the Middle East by the end of the year. Dan Rather of CBS, Tom Brokaw of NBC are appearing with their words translated into Arabic. White House officials say the broadcast will also carry PBS’s “NewsHour” and Fox News’ “Special Report” with Brit Hume. Democracy Now! hasn’t yet gotten a request from the White House to air our news program.
