Jan 6th, 2019: Alhurra
Now for something completely different. I saw one of the pictures with bold writing on it that are strange facts, or
shower thoughts, etc. During the process of going down the rabbit hole for an explanation I lost the picture. But rather than throw those hours away I created a facsimile... deal with it. It started with one of those strange facts things, pictures with large writing over it. They’re kind of like click bait except they don’t lead anywhere. This one says something like, The US Congress funds TV broadcasts that are not allowed to be shown in America. In the background picture I see the word Alhurra. I Googled Alhurra and find SourceWatch.org Quote:

But Their 2019 budget is $661 million, and you couldn’t buy more than two or three congress critters with that. Appointees? Maybe people who know their ass from their elbow? As of September 2008: Jeffrey Trimble, Executive Director Janice H. Brambilla, Director of Management Planning Janet Stormes, Chief Financial Officer Timi Kenealy, (Acting), Legal/General Counsel Board members Joaquin F. Blaya________ Broadcasting Blanquita Walsh Cullum__ Broadcasting D. Jeffrey Hirschberg____ High speed rail Edward E. Kaufman_____ Joe Biden’s staff for 22 years Steven J. Simmons_____ Patriot Media Cable Condoleezza Rice______ You know Condie Former members James K. Glassman_____ Director of the George W. Bush Institute Norman J. Pattiz_______ Westwood One, radio network Marc B. Nathanson_____ Mapleton Investments, Capital Management and Communications(radio) Kenneth Y. Tomlinson___ Editor at Reader's Digest Hmm, not necessarily, I can see some assholes and elbows getting confused. Wiki has paragraphs on, and numerous links to, stories about... 1- Allegations of pro-American bias 2- Allegations of anti-American bias 3- Criticism of administration and oversight Stories like FOX News, “U.S. Government's Arabic-Language Channel Airs Anti-Israel Comments from Hamas, Hezbollah”, the Washington Post’s, “Russia's Signal to Stations Is Clear: Cut U.S. Radio”, and the L.A. Times, “Static Rises on Capitol Hill Over Broadcast Board Member, tells me the board does attract attention. It also says they have a habit of pissing off one group or another then backtracking, which to me says they are walking a very narrow path, almost a tightrope. If that’s true then they can’t do the job they were chartered and publicly touted to do. Neither could they accomplish a secret agenda without credibility that free press is bespoke... until they prove otherwise. So now you know just enough to know not. But know enough to walk away because it's one of those things that frustrates everyone but nobody can fix it. Especially these days when bipartizen means your party says what color hand grenades you're issued. link link link
