Lebanon is without a government; Hariri takes Holiday yet somehow it’s Aoun’s fault? Read


Facepalm...

I hate how half the news is about GMA... He's not the only man in the party, leave alone the country!

If we want to open up to other fellow Lebanese and to the world, we should stop making him a semi-God!

Don't get me wrong, I love the man, but I don't need convincing!

It was all alright during the occupation, since he was the qa2ed behind the liberation, but once we entered the institutional reform phase, we have to put forth the technocrats of our party, the specialists, the lawyers and economists, the activists, etc.

Check the page right now:

I would appreciate feedback from all those who visit it and also if they can spread the word of the site and get feedback from others.

What do you like?

Ps. any volunteers interested in consistently putting aside a few minutes a day and helping with live news updates PM me.

I checked the website.
I think there is a major problem with the style of the English language you are using. You can’t go cheap on this one; you need to hire some English speaking kid not necessarily living in Lebanon to rephrase or reconstruct those titles so they can sound familiar and easy to comprehend. I suppose you are targeting the foreign audience.

For example:
Lebanon is without a government; Hariri takes Holiday yet somehow it’s Aoun’s fault?

Lebanon has no government, Hariri on vacation; and Aoun is the one they blame…

Haifa Wehbe, Louis Vuitton's Guest!!



The Lebanese star Haifa Wehbe will heading to Paris during the Ramadan holy month to make a photo session for the great Louis Vuitton fashoin designer.

Haifa was invited by him personally because she's a Lebanese celebrity and is well known in the Arab world. This shooting session will take place in Vuitton's family old house which was transformed into a work shop.

Haifa insisted that the team is consisited of Lebanese specialists so she will be accompanied by the Lebanese photographer David Abdullah and the make up artist Bassam Fattouh.

Facepalm

Yeah you're right. Even if I'm not "english educated", sometimes it's appalling.

But even if it's not really the topic, the french translations too are very very poor, if not laughable.

Something must be done as it's a question of credibility after all.
