#2 mhw - I'm not really sure how much relevance a "survey of almost 2,000 ad executives, brand managers and academics" can claim to have. And they were rating some nebulous concept called 'influence', not recognizability.

#3 Is Coke or McDonald's number 1, I wonder...

Think about it, Bulldog, you and I know about Al Jazeera, even though we don't watch it. And I think the sample group is indeed appropriate -- who would be more concerned with which brands are most recognized and/or influential? Both are critical realities in their eyes -- recognized is for selling product, but influential is for placing ads where they do the most good.

#4 tw - mhw was transposing recognized with influence. Not me. That's why I commented.

#5 Now, if the US would only privatize its versions of Al Jareeza, PBS and NPR.
