Networks Making Headway In Middle East
U.S. sponsored broadcast networks set up to counter anti-U.S. propaganda in Arab media are apparently making substantial headway in the Middle East (search). A new survey by ACNielsen (search) in nine Middle East countries shows that each week, in those countries alone, 21.3 million people watch TV news network Al-Hurra. And 20.8 million tune in to Radio Sawa, which carries a combo of music and news.
What's more, the vast majority of those polled said they consider news by the U.S. funded broadcasters reliable. In fact, in Egypt 92 percent now say Al-Hurra is credible, up from 70 percent last year. In Lebanon, 79 percent say it's credible, up from 53 percent, and in Jordan 68 percent agree, up from 46 percent.

This information came from the political Grapewine on Fox news.
I am suprised by the high trust persentages of 92%, 79%, and 68%. The only thing I hear from the MSM lately is how much the Middle East hates us. Don't get me wrong, they may still hate us, but at least they trust us.
I don't think you could find a major news organization within the US that rates any better (well maybe Tim Russert). CNN trust level is at 32% and Fox is at 25% Link
