A reader on the local coverage of Akbar:

In response to posts in The Corner (the absolute best War-Blog out there, by the way) of the national media’s, particularly MSNBC, avoiding mentioning Asan Akhbar by name, or that he is a muslim, I thought I’d let you know that in Dallas, Texas, the local news anchors of channels 4 (FOX), 5 (NBC), and 11(CBS) all ID’d him by name AND religion. Don’t know about our local ABC affiliate, channel 8, because I refuse to watch them. Rod couldn’t becoming to a nicer place…
P.S. Nice pro-war/pro-Bush/pro-America and, of-course, pro-troops rally yesterday in Dallas (I didn’t attend). About 500 people which is literally about 10 times larger than any of the local ‘peace’ rallies I’ve heard about.
