The editorial pages of a newspaper are supposed to reflect at least two different opinions: it of course should reflect more than two, but people settle for two. In US newspaper, it is barely two: Democrats and Republicans. In Arabic newspapers, no such niceties. Only one point of view. The King of Saudi Arabia's point of view. Take an-Nahar: I can't read their columnists on Lebanese affairs because they all say the same right-wing sectarian Christian point of view.
