Is there no adult supervision on Rima Maktabi at CNN?

I am almost starting to miss Octavia Nasr (whose contract with LBC TV for the "training" of the staff has been terminated for lack of work according to Al-Akhbar): at least she did not strive to do that horribly fake American accent of English.  Here, she discovers that the Qur'an mentioned the Cedars of Lebanon:  "Their soft, light wood was highly prized in the ancient world and they featured in the "Epic of Gilgamesh" poem written nearly 3,000 years ago, as well as the Bible and the Quran."  Does she have the same fact checkers as Robert Fisk?
