...Western media--like Turkish students and professors who burned a TV last week to protest CNN's "one-sided" coverage--are happy to have their own alternatives. "We saw [Gulf War I] through the eyes of Peter Arnett," says Nabil El-Sharif, editor in chief of Jordan's Ad-Dustour newspaper, referring to a war correspondent for CNN in 1991.
