Nada Bakri and double standards

I have been critical of Nada Barki's reporting on Syria (from Lebanon).  I have said that she has become repository of the pro-Saudi elements of the Syrian opposition.  She has been merely parroting the claims of the pro-Saudi Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (check her article today).  In response, a reader sent me a link to her Facebook page in which she has joined at least two groups that seek to overthrow the Syrian regime.  If a reporter at the Times joined a group that seek the demise of Israel, how long will she be able to keep her job?
