danger, Will Robinson. danger.

This worries me. Because as I've previously noted, Hala and Inside the Middle East seems to be polarizing without meaning to be. People react strongly to whatever the program presents, and no matter what they do, nobody seems to be truly happy. Or, shall we say, too few seem to truly "get" it. It's untold stories. Because different strokes and different folks, there will be always contrasting reactions.

So People of the Year? That's fine. That's great. Show the different opinions of the people. But the part where the IME team will share their own? That's worrisome. Because you just know someone's going to react.

And again complain about Hala being "too pro-Middle East".

not yet

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.
