An Arab sociologist currently in Saudi Arabia, explains to Arab News that America is too close-minded. One piece of evidence:

The problem is further compounded by its media which gives out only filtered news preventing the people at the grassroots level from gaining an insight into the real issues. “When I was in the US some years ago, I was shocked to find that the people there were having AM/FM radios and not the short-wave radio. That means they are only interested in knowing things concerning them and have no interest in the world beyond.”

Take out your red pencils everybody.
