    A voice of reason and reform from the Arab world. Nice to know they're out there. (To be fair, this is a pretty progressive website relative to, say, Al-Jazeera. Anyway...)

    The "mainstream" Arab media was exposed to the Arab peoples as lacking credibility. Taking Baghdad Bob seriously will be seen as the nadir of journalism in the Arab world.

    Fox and MSNBC may have been jingoistic and pro-American in their emphasis, but by and large got the general contours right. The Arab Media was largely trapped in fantasy land.

    This will either marginalize or force them to change. Since I am an optimist, I expect the latter.
