Nassib Lahoud - Saeika Baathist Member - What's next? Geagea an ex-Taliban member?
Wednesday, November 07, 2007
So that's where Geagea was for the last 11 years... I knew there was something fishy.
You can find the original link that caused all this stir here.
But honestly, what kind of an idiot would you be to believe this. Now I'm not the kind of person that just believes anything that he reads. Even if it's something that would suit me very much if he believed it. The problem is that the Lebanese press, and the entire Middle-Eastern press, has lost so much credibility in this on-going feud between the 8th and 14th of March that all you can do is try to nit-pick everything for some piece of credible news.
Anyway that's not the point. The point is, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I saw this piece of news. On one hand, it's funny because of the ridiculous accusation, but on the other hand, it's sad because of the speed that the 8th of March and the FPMers latched on to it with their teeth and starting sucking it (not milking it ... poor cows) dry like there was no tomorrow.
Never mind that this "truth" came from an extremely biased syrian "truth media outlet" ( a brief to their main page will show you what kind of politics they follow). Never mind that Nassib Lahoud's family was Chamounist, by Lebanese standards meaning that he would be a Chamounist by default. Never mind using logic that these photos can be EASILY manipulated and photo-shopped. I'm really surprised by their crispness as they should have shown some wear and tear marks, but apparently they don't since they're "real".
But AH! Here's another problem... the news comes from "Syrian Truth", but it's been used by Al-Akhbar. Al-Akhbar being the amature newspaper that it is, because of its complete lack of journalistic integrity published these pictures with no hesitation. Then who came along to seize the moment? No one other than tayyar.org / FPM. On a side note, I would also like to point out that the news is not on the top of their page anymore unlike some other pieces of news they latched onto in the past.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am ashamed of being Lebanese at this moment. I'm also ashamed of being part of the new generation of brainwashed imbeciles that believe whatever they hear because their leader has told them so... not that I was proud of being part of them to begin with.
