What l'Orient wrote was disgusting. There exists also journalism ethics. Journalism has to abide by some rules: objectivity, neutrality/independence, intellectualism, moderation.
Instead, it invented a story (bye bye objectivity), it took sides (bye bye neutrality and independence), it didn't look into the facts and reflect on what happened (intellectualism in that newspaper was long dead anyways), and it incited hatred (bye bye moderation).
While I agree with you that Aoun should refrain from attacking newspaper as directly as he did, I believe it is strategically well-done. Why? By confronting l'Orient le Jour, he has turned l'Orient le Jour totally against him. Anyone who read l'Orient's answer to Aoun could see how humiliated they were, and how it is their ultimate goal to bash Aoun at every turn. What is happening, is the final shift of l'Orient, from a pseudo-neutral newspaper to an entirely partisan and propaganda newspaper!
In other words, Aoun's bashing of l'Orient has credited l'Orient. But l'Orient's answer(s) discredits its and credits Aoun... But that is mere speculation. |
Would you show us where and how L'orient Le Jour was disgusting?
Could you highlight the parts in the article showing the disgust you've been feeling ?
