I was interviewed by an American Gov't propaganda network yesterday.

I didn't know it at the time. I was at one of the protests in NYC and these two Arab looking guy, one with a camera, ask to interview me. I said OK. I asked where they were from and they said a new station from Virginia called Al Hurra. They said they wanted to change the perception of Americans in the mulsim areas.

I looked up Al Hurra when I got here. They are an pro-American propaganda network that broadcasts into the ME. I had read about Al Hurra, but I couldn't remember who they were. I am happy with the interview I gave because I told the truth, but I would have enjoyed going off on them if I had remembered.

2. Good for you!
I hope they air it just the way you said it. Will you be able to find out? My very small but very intense experience with local and national media is that if you do not say what they want to hear they either change it or leave it out entirely. Let us know if you find out.
