Al-Hurra - The Free One

If your first reaction to this is "What?", then you are not alone. Al-Hurra meaning "The Free One" in Arabic, is a news channel broadcast from the United States into 22 countries in the Middle East. And the surprising thing is, it is sponsored by the US government by US taxpayer money.

60 minutes had a report yesterday on how the channel which was started in Feb 2004 and was supposed to be an alternative voice for Al Jazeera in the middle-east, is going through a credibility crisis due to bad management and lack of proper oversight.
