Hassan Daoud

"He is the editor of the ‘Nawafidh’ cultural supplement of the Beirut daily al-Mustaqbal."  Oh, really?  Just that?  editor of Nawafidh in Al-Mustaqbal.  Let us amend: He is the editor of the cultural supplement of the Hariri daily, Al-Mustaqbal.  The supplement steers away from culture and is filled with right-wing, sectarian pro-Saudi propaganda.  It also carries pro-US propaganda from Bush years and beyond.  It is the place where writers compete to show their sorrow and grief over the death of Rafiq Hariri.  If only I have the time to react to everything I read.
