I agree with you. More depressing is that there are no "FREE - non-government controlled"
Arabic stations from North America. Look at the
Iranians, they have almost 18 stations now broadcasting from North America on Telstar 5. The Arab Americans have only 1/2 a station (MBC broadcast with and ANA badge) called ANA. What is going on??
The Arabs (those Arab Sheiks and Billionaires) have around $600-800 Billion investments in the USA. Where is all the money going, darn it.
Also, about your comments about Al Maghreb Alarabi lacking any stations in North America, that is a tragedy. To send a beam this way of the Atlantic using Telstar 5 doesn't cost more than $30-50,000 per month. Can't they afford it?? I can't believe it.
All those government controlled stations are only that, a propaganda tool, nothing more.
