Since Al Jazeera exploded on the Arab scene in the late 1990s, its talk shows have ushered in a culture of contentious public debate, a culture that has fundamentally shattered unitary Arab nationalist discourse.1 They shattered decades of tight Arab state control over the public agenda that imposed a stifling silence on real political debate. Al Jazeera's talk shows helped to bring into being a new Arab public oriented toward contentious public argument about issues of interest to a shared Arab identity. This new public already has a deeply ingrained expectation of public disagreement and dissent that was almost unthinkable only a short time ago.
