Convention Coverage

The Instapundit finds it 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.

Al-Jazeera's coverage includes live broadcasts from the channel's skybox above the convention floor in Madison Square Garden, interviews with Republican delegates, dispatches from outside the midtown Manhattan convention center and two talk shows, one of them modeled loosely on CNN's "Crossfire" and featuring Arab American Democratic and Republican commentators.

Peculiar.
