Hello Anonymous - or should I call you Ramez Maluf, since you have pretty much regurgitated exactly what this so-called professor of journalism, who, incredibly, advocates limiting press freedom, said during the CNN interview? I fail to see how a taxi driver and a cafe barman would face "serious consequences" for telling a journalist (and I did identify myself as a journalist to both of them) that they like Nasrallah and don't trust Israel. Perhaps if I had quoted the Lebanese who told me they hated Hezbollah and wished Israel had finished the job last summer, you would have a point. However, I was very careful to avoid quoting anyone who might have said something that would put him at risk. I did not "launch" my career with my report from Lebanon. It was already launched - several years ago. And if Al Manar, the Hezbollah TV station, had not broadcast my report and made such a big deal out of it, no-one outside of Israel would have known about it. So if you are going to go around blaming me for "seriously endangering the working environment" for foreign journalists in Lebanon, I suggest you direct your blame at the Hezbollah guys who are so effectively intimidating journalists in Lebanon. As for the "countless foreign correspondents who work tirelessly" in Lebanon to "try and bring an accurate and fair picture to the world" - well, perhaps you should try harder to be accurate and fair. Because given that most non-Lebanese people seem to have the impression that the majority of Lebanese are either homeless, impoverished victims of the summer war, or militants running around with rocket launchers on their shoulders, it seems that you are not doing a very good job at all in presenting an accurate and fair picture of Lebanon. And finally, I am rather shocked that one journalist would level these ludicrous accusations at another journalist. Where I come from, journalists support one another's efforts to report the truth.
