Randa Abu-l-`Azm is one of the finest journalist in TV news. Despite my criticism of the editorial policies of Al-ARabiyya TV, there are fine journalists and correspondents working there, and I mentioned that before. I am just so impressed with her really fair and solid coverage of the Egyptian election. Just tonight, the Saudi correspondent in Dammam (his name escapes me) covering the battles between armed men and Saudi police, candidly talked on the air (and live) about how two Saudi journalists were beaten by Saudi police. The anchorperson got so uncomfortable and just wanted to suddenly talk about the hurricane in the US.
