A. wrote me this first review of Al-Mayadin: "I just saw al-Mayadeen for the first time (saida), Sami Kulaib is such a good
host, he knows how to run a debate, and the level of discussion is really high
(compared to al-Jazeera and even western channels) and they do actually bring
differing viewpoints - to an extent. Also, the little I've seen of their syria
coverage seems to give the impression of credibility."
