| 73. Well, small correction there--the report is carried by MEMRI |
|
which is a 501(3)c charitable outfit located in Washington DC. http://www.memri.org/aboutus.html It's not a report that is "not meant to be shown to a non-Saudi viewer." In fact, the Saudis never got to see this on their over the air stations--it's quite a long haul from the cleric reading the Quran or the boring news reports. It's why satellite dishes are the rage over that way. The original TV report was carried in Lebanon, on LBC (what you'd expect it is, Lebanon Broadcasting Corp) television. http://www.lbcgroup.tv/lbc/en/home / I had to laugh at the rather attractive scold towards the end with her abaya and Burbury accessories -- no mistaking she's not poor! |
