A quick check of my blog stats reveals that my comments on yesterday’s first half hour of Al Jazeera English got picked up by Slate, the Guardian and the BBC’s Arabic website. Even my cynical side gets a bit excited at seeing my name under their mastheads, and so completely unexpectedly. Did nobody else think to blog about it? Hi to anyone following those links, by the way. And if you can tell me what the Arabic page says about me, even better. ๐
