Anyway, edited to make it as a standalone thread now it's here...
He should do a piece about how Faux is broadcast unfiltered 24/7 AROUND THE WORLD! 84 broadcasters in Pakistan carry Faux news, for example. Here's the full list:

I think, in fact I know he'll find it very interesting how Faux is the ONLY American 'news' channel that is broadcast unfiltered spewing out their hatred ALL OVER THE WORLD.
What I find really worrying is this "
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x494462">war on Islam", that the Reich-wing are proclaiming, is being broadcast all over the world!
And they are giving the impression that Al Qaeda are right when they use the propaganda that America is at war with Islam, as

CNN International are covering it: http://edition.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/08/16/obama.islamic.center.politics/index.htmlAl Jazeera English are covering it: http://english.aljazeera.net/news/americas/2010/08/201081422058404426.htmlAnd Faux news is 'covering' it, obviously.
What makes it worse is that Faux news is broadcast unfiltered all over the world.
For example, in Pakistan there are
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,184837,00.html">84 different broadcasters pumping out Faux news' fearmongering extreme Islamophobia unfiltered 24/7. (Of course, that was until the horrific events that started 2 weeks ago, who knows how many people even have electricity at the moment). Apart from everything else, this is most likely a major reason for the anti-American sentiment there.
The point I'm making is, what must the Muslims across the world be making of all this American hatred towards their religion that's being spewed out of their TVs?
