Register Quits Al-Hurra

From here:

The news director of a U.S.-funded Arab language satellite television network that was accused of airing anti-Israeli propaganda has resigned.

Larry Register, vice president of news for the Middle East Broadcasting Networks and editorial leader of Al-Hurra Television, claimed in a resignation letter Friday that he was the victim of a smear campaign.

Register, a former producer at CNN, joined Al-Hurra in October 2006. He resigned not long after the Broadcasting Board of Governors, which funds the station, sought a review to examine Al-Hurra’s programming.
