CBS News has a investigation on the failure of American-funded Al Hurra channel to gain credibility amongst Arabs.
The CBS report also suggests Arabs are an ungrateful bunch for seeing through the intention of the news channel (my emphasis):
Compared to Al Jazeera, Al Hurra does feature more American and Israeli voices. It has extensive coverage of U.S. politics. Cultural programs, like an hour on blue jeans are among its most popular. But after nearly half a billion dollars, “The Free One” is seen by most Arabs as the U.S. government station, “The Cheney Channel” as some have called it, and that perception is limiting in a region where people tend to look a gift horse in the mouth.
