Now That’s What I Call Television
A recent Jordanian news broadcast got a little out of hand:
A debate on media freedom in Syria between two journalists on a Jordanian television network grew heated Wednesday, developing into a set-wrecking tug-of-war.
The fight erupted on the “Bayn Etijihayn” (Between Two Ways) show between Shaer Al-Johari, head of the Electronic Media Association in Jordan, and Mohammed Al-Jayousi, editor-in-chief of the news Web site al-Mustaqbal al-Arabi.
The heated conversation turned physical when Al-Jayousi accused Al-Johari of being a “deviant” who supports the Syrian revolution. Al-Johari responded by accusing Al-Jayousi of supporting the Syrian regime in exchange for money.
This prompted the two men to start shoving the studio table toward one another, eventually flipping it over. The clip is not to be missed. The host then ended the program abruptly.
Here’s the video:
American television would be more interesting if this happened once in awhile.
Well, obviously “Bayn Etijihayn” is Arabic for “The Jerry Springer Show.”
What program did they think it was, Archaelogy Today?
“Bayn Etijihayn” is an international Fox affiliate.
You gotta love the crew for stepping in and breaking it up…after a while.
Well, there’s always this. Of course, it’s Americans, who played in Canada, showing their asses (as me sainted grandmother would say) in a Canadian TV clip being shown on the BBC. But what the hey.
Next, on Fox News ……
Nah. We already have enough partisan fighting masquerading (or not even that anymore0 as serious discussion.
Give the people what they want. I’d probably tune in and watch a program in which George Will and Paul Krugman duked it out.
Doug, don’t give CNN any ideas to increase their ratings!!
