This is going to be a poor excuse of an entry, but I just want to reassure everyone that I have not yet abandoned my blind worship of Miss Gorani.
But I must say this: reading other blogs that mention Hala, it's funny how polarizing Hala is. Some think she's too pro-Middle East, other too pro-Western World. All this while being a talking head and in interviews not reveal her own opinions to preserve her talking head status.
Does Hala carry a bias? Maybe. But this is blind fanaticism, people. Don't make me think about serious issues. This blog is all about how lovely Hala looks when she's in blue, and not about the subliminal message behind Inside the Middle East's programming.
Unless the subliminal message is Hala's continued maintenance of her weight loss.

I don't care about her bias either. But I do think that she always keeps her opinion to herself, so it isn't much of a problem anyway.
What I noticed is that there seems to be a mood in many western countries that you cannot report on the middle east and not use the stereotypes of angry Muslims being mad at the west. What I believe is that the vast majority of people in the middle east just try to lead normal lives, and are far removed from any kind of violence or intollerance. I love that Hala reports on those lives, and I think that it is very unfair that she is being attacked because of this. The fact that there is some wide spread bias doesn't mean that a reporter should adopt it. Fair and balanced reporting means that you should sometimes go against the tide and I am glad to see that Hala is doing just that.
hey!! good to see you posting again!!
I dont care about her biases either...though i do think its rediculous to think she has any coz i always admired her for being neutral on stories where i could tell she wanted to take a side!!
Other than that she looks fabulous as always :D
Inside the Middle East has a new blog page.

If there is a bias, I sure don't see it.
