Please help me welcome Loveday Morris to the group of Americna reporters who parrot the propaganda of March 14 in Lebanon

"Rafiq al-Hariri, a former Lebanese prime minister and an outspoken critic of the Syrian army’s presence in his country..."  With this sentence, Loveday Morris of the Washington Post reveals the extent to which she is clueless on Lebanon.  They go to Lebanon, they don't have a clue about the place and the region, and they basically parrot the propaganda cliches of March 14 who work for them as their translators, stringers, and drivers.  I will say this to Ms. Morris: If you find ONE (not two) statement by Rafiq Hariri (during his life, because I have not followed his statements from the grave, and they have been daily) that is critical of Syrian presence in the country, I shall give you a ten-speed blender as a gift.  So I am not quibbling with you whether he was outspoken or not, I am quibbling that he ever was critical of the Syrian presence. Ms. Morris: let me inform you of this.  In the last interview he gave to `Imad Marmal of As-Safir, on the eve of his assassination, he praised the Syrian regime.  Do you see the extent to which you are believing whatever propaganda lies that you are supplied by the Hariri press office in Lebanon? But why did you not bother to check to see whether he truly was critical or not, let alone outspoken?
