Lebanese propagandists for the Syrian regime

The Syrian regime propaganda outlets are desperate to feature Lebanese supporters of the Syrian regime.  Incidentally, you never see Hizbullah MPs on Syrian regime TV.  But my informants tell me that even Lebanese propagandists for the Syrian regime have recently been reluctant to appear due to the stringent security measures.  One Lebanese guest on Syrian regime TV privately complained that he was forced to accommodate two Syrian body guards in his hotel room.  Yesterday, I saw a Lebanese guy on Syrian regime TV and he was identified as "secretary-general of the Lebanese Construction Party".   I kid you not.  Never heard of that group before.
