Do two wrongs make a right? The NBN anchorwoman should be fired and the thugs who hit the New TV reporter must be prosecuted.

hen there's a crime like this, one should put his political differences aside, but this video shows a sick mentality...Please comment

Do we have to cry everytime a former Syrian ally is assassinated? We should mourn the death of the innocent, his son, but let's not pretend that Eido was a saint; far from it. He did not deserve to be assassinated, he certainly did not deserve to be mocked right after his assassination, but for god's sake, where were all these former Syrian agents when they were utilizing Assad's expertise in liquidation to assassinate their political rivals and oppress the Lebanese who opposed having their country occupied & controlled by Syria and their puppets. All assassinations should be condemned, but we don't have to mourn the death of politicians who were awarded their political posts by their former ally over the dead bodies of Syria's victims, which happened to be an occupier and enemy of Lebanon. Let's not take this too far.

I heard that he has been re-instated is that true???

[Shangleesh]

Yes she has been reinstated which i personally think was wrong.

She has a right to believe what she wants but when it is exposed like this to the public something should be done, especially because of the heightened tensions. You don't say it is good somebody died right when they died and we don't know the circumstances. It was a mistake to renistate her in my opinioin even if i don't like Eido.

Shame on Nabih Berri for rewarding hatred

Beirut, Lebanon - The disgraceful NBN anchor that was reportedly fired by NBN for laughing at the murder of Walid Eido. Turns out she was just out on vacation.

During the live coverage of Walid Eido's assassination, Nabih Berri's news channel anchor Sawsan Darwish (pictured right) accidentally slipped on the air, and proceeded to laugh at the murder of Eido just minutes after the horrendous event, and even implied there was more coming.

"Why were they late in killing him?," referring to Eido.

She then said "they're driving us crazy," apparently referring to other anti-Syrian politicians. "Ahmed Fatfat is left. I'm counting them," she added.

Beyond the obvious lack of dignity, professionalism, and respect on the part of the news channel, the incriminating aspect is that the NBN employees imply that there is in fact a plan to eliminate the anti-Syrian majority by killing off their members of parliament.

Darwish Not Fired

Following the event, NBN claimed it "regretted the unintentional mistake" which it said did not reflect the station's policies or moral and "professional standards". In an attempt to cover up the incident, Qassem Soueid, the director of NBN's news department, said Darwish and the sound engineer who put Darwish on air were fired. The move by NBN wreaks of a coverup, and a poor attempt to wash its hands clean.

Less than 40 days since the incident, Darwish was back on the air as a news anchor for NBN. The same NBN director, Qassem Soueid, that had initially claimed to have fired Darwish, mocked Ahmed Fatfat, the same minister that Darwish implied was next to be assassinated, calling him an "illegal cabinet minister" that was "launching a campaign against the television station."

Fatfat had sued Darwish and all others involved in "stirring sectarian hatred and interfering in crime."

Deputy House Speaker Farid Makari accused Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, who owns NBN, of "making a mistake and deceiving his voters."

"If Speaker Nabih Berri has reinstated a journalist who used religious and factional words and cussed a martyred colleague of his without going through the trouble of offering condolences, then, I am surprised that some people were and are still hopeful that Speaker Berri will reopen the doors of Parliament," Makari said.

"This is a good opportunity for those who elected Berri as Speaker to realize that they were deluded," he added.

Provocations like those instigated by Darwish could very easily push Lebanon into a civil war unless they are nipped in the bud and made an example of.

In her first appearance since covering the Walid Eido assassination, Darwish thanked Nabih Berri for his "friendliness and forgiveness."

Shame on Berri for rewarding hatred by reinstating a clearly sick and twisted individual as a news anchor on his mouthpiece. The actions demonstrate Berri's disinterest in national unity.


I can't believe that Berri has re-instated her as acnhorwoman? Berri should stand trial!!!

Omar Raad?

Never heard of him.

Anyway , what's the point of citing him?

I also like to know the names of these individuals, and their positions. If their network cannot hold them accountable for the filth they said, the public opinion should do that by exposing them.

This was an interesting incident. The 'individuals' were named, were "fired" and the first two pages of this thread were mostly about how many more M14 MP's would have to die to reduce their majority. This made world-wide news.

Following the event, NBN claimed it "regretted the unintentional mistake" which it said did not reflect the station's policies or moral and "professional standards". In an attempt to cover up the incident, Qassem Soueid, the director of NBN's news department, said Darwish and the sound engineer who put Darwish on air were fired. The move by NBN wreaks of a coverup, and a poor attempt to wash its hands clean.

Fast forward - barely a month later, these people are re-hired (or returned from their vacations) and now we have another 5 pages of posts about the 'return'. She got her job back because she does in fact, reflect the attitudes of the management. This incident is a reflection on not only Berri, but the entire opposition - and I say that because Berri is a major figure in the 'opposition'. It can't help but reflect on the whole.

I congratulate those on this forum who condemn this act, and have no way at all to understand those of you who think it is hunky-dory to gloat about the assassination of a MP (not to mention the others who died), and to wonder when more will be murdered so that the 'opposition' can gain control of the Chamber of Deputies. There can be NO justification for this type of thing.

She lacked professionalism and @ the end of the day, she represents a TV Station and their image is at stake.

At the end of the day ..... she represents more than a TV station. She represents an attitude ...... an attitude that thinks winning a political war by assassination is not only 'acceptable', but it is something to gloat about and look forward to. As we can see ....... there are many with this 'attitude'. It's not just the TV station that has an 'image' at stake.
