TROUBLING:

For 40 million viewers in the Arab world, Al-Jazeera, a Qatar-based satellite television channel, provides a window into the intricate world of American politics. This week, its 16 reporters and staff will air 13 hours of broadcasts from the convention — more time than the combined coverage of America’s major television networks, ABC, CBS and NBC.

On the other hand, even if Americans aren’t seeing much of the convention, at least a lot of Arabs will have seen Arnold’s speech. (Via Ed Cone).
