Yeah I saw this on HuffPo this morning.

As dragonrider said, the HEAD OF THE TV STATION DOESNT EVEN SPEAK ARABIC!!!

What a ridiculous country we live in. Spend millions of dollars on something and then get common-sense decisions wrong.

If you asked a 5th grader if it was a good idea to put a non-arabic speaking american in charge of a foreign tv station, theyd say no. So why cant the people who get paid not to fuck these decisions up get em right?
