ProPublica is an independent, non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest. We strive to foster change through exposing exploitation of the weak by the strong and the failures of those with power to vindicate the trust placed in them.
The Middle East Broadcasting Network, parent company to Alhurra, has sent us a response to our investigation of the U.S.-government funded Arabic channel. Here is their letter -- and our response.
Update: The complete 2004 cable from the U.S. diplomats in Cairo is now posted.
