With the help from Tipster Ibrahim, Avi Lewis new working digs have been found. I never saw this one coming at all.
Hurricane Katrina brought disaster to the front rooms of the western world. However, it was not the hurricane which caused the greatest human damage on America’s Gulf coast, but the overwhelmed public services.
The inability of the richest nation in the world to evacuate the poorest in the affected communities was highlighted to the world. What were also on display were the US’s inequalities, racism and broken political system.
Hosted by Avi Lewis, this week’s Frontline Focus: New Orleans looks at how these issues are playing out in the swing state of Louisiana in the middle of a dramatic presidential campaign.
Frontline USA is a new weekly programme taking an in-depth look at the real issues at stake in the US presidential election. Lewis will strip away the spin, and highlight real issues such as poverty, violence, race, health, and immigration.
The series will study the potential implications the US election will have for billions worldwide, getting the reactions from Baghdad to Beijing.
Lewis is one of Canada’s most controversial and eloquent media personalities, previously working as a documentary film-maker and hosting programmes on Canada’s CBC.
Yes Avi Lewis has gone to the Dark Side. No wait that would Fox News who are we kidding. Al-Jazeera does better journalism that most US News. I poked him on his Facebook, sent him a message asking him about on the map. Got no response. It’s because he’s gone off the reservation. I wonder if it’s because he wasn’t satisfied with the CBC or because the CBC canned him or both or because the Harpies wanted him out because he was throwing to much shit at the Americans on his show.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Come on Avi what’s the scoop?
