"Daniel Nassif will take over editorial leadership at Alhurra Television, as well as continuing his duties as News Director for Radio Sawa." Middle East Broadcasting Networks Inc press release, 8 June 2007. "Register's letter of resignation, dated Friday, said he had been 'professionally and personally attacked' in the media. 'In good conscience I cannot allow the personal vendettas and attacks to damage the credibility of MBN,' he wrote." AP, 9 June 2007. The 6 June NBC Nightly News story on Alhurra is available at The Raw Story, 8 June 2007. See previous post about same subject. The promised review of this episode must still take place, but now it should expand to consider the conduct of the Broadcasting Board of Governors. Did the BBG eliminate a renegade Arabist? Or did it decide the Alhurra news director must speak Arabic? Or did the BBG buckle to political pressure and abdicate, again, its most important function as firewall between U.S. international broadcasting and the U.S. government?
