NEW YORK - The following minute by minute the White House to understand what really happens in Egypt and the Arab world, regularly cites it as a trusted spokesman for the State Department. And yesterday Al Jazeera has bought a full page advertisement in The New York Times to celebrate this triumph in the background there is a large photo of Tahrir Square in Cairo invaded by the crowd, in inverted commas overlay the praises of the most famous anchorman and opinion of 'America: "Great journalism," says Rachel Maddow of MSNBC.
But at the bottom Al Jazeera has had to target potential viewers to its online site, or YouTube, or applications of the iPhone. Why on cable TV or satellite is almost invisible in the United States: the stigma suffered a stroke that lasts from September 11, when the Bush administration saw it as dangerous as a broadcaster, supporters of Al Qaeda.
Today, U.S. officials are to face the facts: even more than Facebook and Twitter (which is important but limited role to the younger generation educated and urban), Al Jazeera is to let the wind blow a lot of freedom in Muslim nations. TV financed by the Emir of Qatar is the voice of independent information that "unifies" the Arab world, she will turn public opinion who mistrust the state television censorship by dictators.
Mubarak knows well: his police broke out at the reporters for days, but with particular ferocity against Al Jazeera. Yesterday they arrested Ayman Mohyeldin sparking protest on Twitter has become the third most frequently mentioned topic in the world. Mohyeldin, released after 9 hours, is the 13th journalist from Al Jazeera fallen into the hands of police or military, including the bureau chief in Cairo.
The office was stormed by pro-Mubarak gangs. The satellites of state are doing everything to "encrypt" their programs. More soft, even America practice his blackout. The excellent English edition of Al Jazeera news can be seen only in small enclaves in Washington and Egyptian immigration as Toledo, Ohio.
On the rest of U.S. territory is not among the hundreds of channels offered to subscribers via cable or satellite. No censorship, please, in the land of the First Amendment. Officially, cable-TV operators like Comcast and TimeWarner explain that "no place" for Al Jazeera in their "bouquet" of programs already overcrowded.
Strange, because in these days with the Arabic television news English jumped to 1.6 million viewers, despite being seen almost exclusively on the Internet: on-site traffic growth is 2.500%. The commercial appeal so there. "We hope to be the turning point," said its director Al Anstey from Doha, Qatar.
The praise of fellow-American competitors are a fantastic advertising. Sam Donaldson on ABC turned in directly to an Al Jazeera reporter, saying, "Thank you for the work you are doing." Despite the wealth of resources, neither CNN nor the other have been able in a short time coverage of the riots similar to that of Al Jazeera, unparalleled for the size and quality of its bureaus across the area.
But despite the recognition of most of the TV and the U.S. press, the spread of Al Jazeera anathema to the Bush administration has gone off. At right, Bill O'Reilly of Fox News has again branded as "anti-American." For Nanabhay Mohamed, who heads the news of Al Jazeera English, the boom in online access by the United States "is proof that the Americans are concerned with foreign policy." After the outburst of Obama to the CIA, which has not seen until the last to get even the fall of Ben Ali in Tunisia, at the top of the world's superpower someone repents for not having looked a bit 'before the news right.
