Welcome Fox and Friends Viewers
Update 3:
a) Its OK to post the interview to Youtube per the fantasimo Alisyn Camerota, so here it is, click here. Yemen is going to love Alisyn.
b) Fantasimo Alisyn reminds me in comments of her blog to let her know the outcome of the trial on Monday. So I should make a list of all the media outlets who interviewed me, ran a story on al-Khaiwani and want to know what happens Monday, just so I dont forget anyone:
- Fox News, number one rated cable news show in the US
- New York Times, International Herald Tribune
- BBC, UK
- Radio One, Canada Broadcasting Corp.
- NZZ, newspaper of record in Switzerland
- Expresso, largest newspaper in Portugal
- Menassat, Lebanon
- Washington Monthly (gee I forgot to post that interview link)
- NPR, National Public Radio US asked for an update
- Asbury Park Press, largest newspaper in New Jersey, that article coming out next Saturday
- An Italian newspaper, the name of which escapes me at the moment
- the 50 blogs that carried the story
- the 1400 people who signed a letter, (its not too late to join us, click here)
Of course, an acquittal would be such a victory for press freedom and democracy in Yemen, and would also demonstrate the independence of the judiciary.
Its a nice list, but it needs hotlinks to all the interviews, broadcasts and articles. I will do. I wrote to al-Khaiwani that I didn’t know we were so interesting. He told me to rest. The thing that surprised me about the momentum of the campaign , and maybe it shouldn’t have, was the Europeans and Canadians. The Swiss in particular signed in an army, and I’m still getting hits and letters from Canada and around Europe.
Update 2:
What an interesting experience being on Fox and Friends was. Everyone at FOX News was so nice, from the staffer who met me to Laura Ingraham who stopped to say hello, and everyone went out of their way to make me at ease.
Alisyn Camerota is a very intelligent lady and so nice (and she’s even prettier close up!), very smart, friendly. They did a lot of research for the segment. The job is much harder than it looks from this side of the screen.
Update 1: I lurves my blog freinds who all know I’m a technotard and help me all the time: Vicky has the video up. The screen shot says “Blogging Mom.” weeeeeeee
Here’s Alisyn’s blog post. She asks, “your thoughts on Jane Novak (pictured below), the stay-at-home, mother-of-two in suburban New Jersey, who innocently started a blog and became an enemy of the state in Yemen. She took up the cause of a Yemeni journalist named Al-Khaiwani who was critical of his government and may be sentenced to death this coming Monday.”
