Without exaggeration, it can be said that the right-wing An-Nahar newspaper in Lebanon, Al-Mustaqbal TV, and LBC-TV are more (un)fair and (im)balanced than Fox News. The correspondent of Fox News today said that between half a million and a million people showed up for today's demonstration in Beirut. An-Nahar, gave the estimate of 235,000 by focusing on one specific area of the gathering, deliberately not mentioning (what most US newspapers mentioned) that people overflowed to neighboring streets, highways, and bridges.
