working on a new project and this one is geared towards kids that's right it's going to be the al-jazeera kids channel and people are already up in arms about programs that they're going to be airing and we actually have a clip of one of those shows so it's to be about the crusades but told from the perspective of a muslim warrior. and i have. to go home. ok so that show just looked like something you might see on a p.b.s. kids program but surely they've got many many more shows relating to muslims portraying them as normal kind human beings comic i mean what is this world coming to first they try to portray muslims as normal people then what's next talk about the qur'an and on top of that al-jazeera is already becoming popular in america thanks to its thorough coverage of events like the egyptian revolution and how it's got the credit america people are probably going to come out saying that this network is a good way to expose children to various cultures all over the world like is law i'm sorry i've got to take a break obviously i'm getting really worked up over this but all joking asi

hillary clinton i notice you said that recently that the american media is atrocious that the media al-jazeeraand our tea and other media outlets have been much better at portraying the reality on the ground as versus the us media you concur with that he noticed the difference between the way the us is covering this in a way maybe let's say an r t russia today or an al-jazeera is covering the ways cameras are specifically of american carriage plus why a policy of the earth was. just you know was making some kind of overwhelming. force and for the numbers of injured people so as a journalist doesn't this. i doesn't accept all the information comes from zero to zero ok look into c.n.n. or for example for previously i have to think twice yes. they may be right let me get your take on this about the third rail in the arab narrative we've had the islamic fundamentalist story we've had the the more. arab story the dictators who are in control and then there's a third story which is this facebook revolution story yes is that true is there a third story and will this third story is it will it be as im
