Jazeera hires Frost
Apparently Al Jazeera has hired David Frost, the veteran British broadcaster, as part of its top line-up. I find that rather unfortunate. Breakfast with Frost was a dreadfully boring current affairs show and Frost is way past his sell-by date. This sounds like an attempt to inject British patrician authority into the channel rather than any real skilled interviewer or investigation journalists. Someone younger would have been better–respectability is not something you can just buy.

Dunno if you saw this but they also hired Josh Rushing, the Marine in Control Room. Should be interesting.
I just can’t believe how western reporters and journalists can get so manipulated by al jazeera..That shows their ignorance towards this region and their inability to analyze things.
Issandr, I can’t find your email anywhere on your website and it seems that you didn’t leave your email in the comment you left on my blog. Please email me so I can tell you about the details.

Sir David is a busy man. He is also guest of honour at the annual Balfour Dinner in Tel Aviv next month.
