Al Jazeera finally launches English channel
Not only that, but they signed up David Frost. The picture someone has given him makes him look transgendered, but I suppose after the spoof picture of Elizabeth Vargas in Marie Claire, that is the level of accuracy we must come to expect from the media, both West and Middle East. I would like to be able to say that Indian media has not fallen to such depths.......
But perhaps I have missed the point and Frost has at last found his true status in life as a hijra, a sort of Johnny Lever style entertainer to an Al Jazeera marriage to Islamism. But if Frost has the role of Johnny Lever, who then has the role of the promoter (the ageing failing Dawood Ibrahim). One has to guess George W. Bush or Rumsfeld I suppose, but neither is anything like smart enough to compare with Dawood Ibrahim.
