The most important journalist in the Middle East. You have not read about her in the European press. The New York Times was busy writing an article about how Saudi people love Oprah. I can't imagine the Economist--the best magazine there is--writing such an article. But Ghadah `Id of New TV may be doing the most important journalistic work in the entire Middle East region. Her program Al-Fasad (corruption) exposes corruption in every corner and place in Lebanon and beyond. Today, the Maronite Patriarch (while giving his sermon to a crowd of four people) attacked `Id and her program in strong abusive terms because she dared to expose corruption in the church.
