Here's the transcript of the above clip as ABC News’ Kirit Radia reports:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made it clear today that she is worried the United States is losing what she calls the information war abroad.
China and Russia, she says, have started English-language networks that push their message overseas and even the Taliban controls the airwaves in Afghanistan.
And in the Arab world? Al Jazeera is king, and Clinton says she can see why.
Al Jazeera has been the leader in that are literally changing peoples minds and attitudes. And like it or hate it, it is really effective, she said.
In fact viewership of al Jazeera is going up in the United States because its real news. You may not agree with it, but you feel like youre getting real news around the clock instead of a million commercials and, you know, arguments between talking heads and the kind of stuff that we do on our news which, you know, is not particularly informative to us, let alone foreigners, she added.
Clinton said that the US has dropped the ball since the Cold War, when VOA and others US broadcasts were influential.
We have not really kept up with the times, Clinton argued.
