Al-Akhbar Censors Too

Ass’ad Abu Khalil (a.k.a Angry Arab), November, 01, 2010:
Al-Akhbar has become a newspaper phenomenon in Lebanon, and beyond that in the Arab world at large. […] Something unusual in a country where the newspaper is the function and product of a strong-willed publisher and his whims. Its other formula is the ability to challenge taboos of all kind. I know that the paper has been critical of some of those who fund it. This is most unusual.
Ass’ad Abu Khalil, April 29, 2011 (today):
This is my weekly article in Al-Akhbar which won’t be published in Al-Akhbar this Saturday. It is titled: “The Ba`th Party: The process of long death”
The Arab Spring of broken hearts..
Update: Al-Akhbar apologized, and wrote that it “felt compelled” to prevent the article from being published..
