How the New York Times office operates in Beirut: farcical media

I have been critical of Western media operating from Lebanon and I have maintained that they most operate under direction of the Hariri press office (which operates under orders from the Saudi intelligence service).  The March 14 Saudi coalition movement in Lebanon has been trying for years now to prop up Shi`ite alternatives to Hizbullah to no avail. The results of Saudi and Hariri machinations have been comical where in the last election Hariri-Saudi-funded Ahmad Al-As`ad obtained a whopping 1% of Shi`ite votes in South Lebanon despite a budget of millions.  Even the leader of Hizbullah from the 1980s (Subhi Tufayli) when the party engaged in terrorism and kidnapping and fanatacism has been propped up and funded.  So there is an adjunct professor at AUB (who has not finished his PhD in the US despite his claims), Rami `Ullayq, who was a student member of Hizbullah while a student there.  He is one of several Shi`ite men hoping to obtain Hariri-Saudi funding in return for "replacing" Nasrallah.  The man is such a joke that he is widely mocked all over twitter and Facebook.  He has called for a "revolution" tomorrow in Beirut and he and his 3 supporters are expected to show up (in the last election, he received less than a 100 votes in Jubayl).  March 14 media and Saudi propaganda outlets wish to exaggerate the significance of such characters.  So what does the New York Times office in Beirut, which has not in its recent history ever uncovered a story of corruption or repression in Lebanon, do? Under direction from Hariri press office, my informants in the New York Times office in Beirut tell me that the office dispatched two (not one) journalists to interview this clown to cover his "revolution".  I am not making this up.
