The reporter who gloated at the death of MP Walid Eido is back with a smirk.
Yes, it’s official. She’s reading the news on air again.
Only in Lebanon can such a disgraced figure come back to the lime lights triumphantly. (To remember what she did, you can watch this report(video))
All NBN needed as a sorry excuse to put her back was “the malicious campaign of criticism against the station’s integrity”. Re-installing her was a sign of defiance in the land of do-as-you please.
But why are we surprised? Nabih berri, the owner of the station has behaved as he always did throughout crises:
1- Lay low while the other side is angry and pretend to go along with their demands. (Fire her)
2- U-turn aggressively when the others become relatively peaceful. (Re-install her)
What a shame. The blood of M.P. Eido hasn’t dried yet..
Hello, my name is Mustapha and I've been blogging about Lebanese society, business and politics since February 2005.
I can almost hear the booming voice echoing in the halls of NBN…
“We’re going to reinstate her and give her a raise BECAUSE NOBODY IMPOSES ANYTHING ON NABIH BERRI!”
The moment Eido said to the international media that he is ready to sell his blood to fight, he became a statico….. Anybody could be blamed for his death…….
Shame on them. I can’t believe they allowed her to get back on air again.
What a joke. The whole country is a joke.
What a shame! Aïb! And her boss is President of the Parliement. Nice democracy Istez Nabih, you haven’t forgotten your criminal past.
Berri did not forget how Amal and Hizbo were killing each other!!! He does care but about himself. Now, he is planning to retire and have his brother take over.

Of course it is a shame.
But let’s face it, the level of hatred runs deep on all sides. She was only caught expressing what many, on all sides, secretly wish and hope for themselves and against the others.
The people of this nation have lost all respect and decorum. Patriotism is not to the country but to the sect and party.
Ali, she is a journalist and a public person…she lost all credibility. Putting her back on the screen is a blatant insult to the memory of Walid Eido, Gebrane Tweini,Pierre Gemayel & Samir Kassir & Georges Hawi. In a another country, she would have been immediatly arrested for uttering death threats.
Maybe her boss is the Hajj she was talking to
Kheireddine,
There are so many public and official personalities who are an insult to the memory of so many Lebanese we would need a nationwide purge to get rid of them.
Talk about credibility, we have warlords, with actual blood on their hands, actually running the affaires of the country. We have a current minister who ordered Lebanese troops to serve tea to invading troops who in turn were concurrently murdering his own countrymen (and who later bombed these very same troops as they retreated), without so much as a reprimand from the official government.
But then again, why blame the government when itself served up a sumptuous feast, with hugs and kisses, to the Secretary of State of the very country that was pushing, financing and arming the war that cost Lebanon over a thousand civilian deaths and destroyed much of its infrastructure and thousands of buildings and homes.
So, the insults to all of us are many. As they say: in’ata3 shirsh il-haya. The re-instatement of Sawsan is just the latest insult.
I kinda like her, I’m happy she’s back hehehe just to piss off people some more. (By the way, Is there a minister of communication in this goddam country? Or a press minister? Or a journalist with guts enough to go on air and say hope nasrallah will die???)
well, well, well!
Apparently, no one understood the move.
What is clear here is that berri does not give a damn about the news anchor! simply because he knows that she will be another victim of a “vendetta” crime. similar to the horrible killing of the two kids who were kidnapped and shot afterwards. If you follow the events carefully, you`ll realize that the offenders were identified but no arrest was made and the crime lies now in the “vendetta file” still valid in our outdated criminal law practice. Going back to our popular anchor, she will not be spared i can assure you. Berri brought her back as a bait, he is waiting for the crime to happen. Will his machiavelic plan work? We will be watching and waiting for his return with his family from a summer getaway!!!!
ali,
are you saying that Fatfat actually ORDERED the army troops to serve tea to the Israelis during the summer war? Where did you get this from? That’s an awful accusation agianst the man if you have no proof.
