...question is not only whether American viewers will tune in but if U.S. advertisers will risk indirect association with a news organization that the State Department accuses of having a "clear pattern of false and inflammatory reporting" that endangers the lives of Americans, particularly U.S. personnel in Iraq. "There is no baggage heavier than anything that is related to 9/11," says Tom Wolzien, a media analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein in New York City.
