People often ask me why I stopped reading Egyptian newspapers...well the reason I stopped is because in order to find out the news, I'd have to get El Ahram, skim through the titles to find out what they'd like me to think is happening, then skim through headlines in a couple of other newspapers..then fact check BBC to see if any of the major headlines is even factual.
and hence, I do not read newspapers...
Today my co-worker brought to my attention this article, written by an editor in chief of a major newspaper...

I was enraged, not at the content of article, nor at the writer's case, but rather by the disgusting lack of professionalism in this piece. This man has broken every journalism rule known to mankind.
1- he has no facts.
2- He is labeling people and calling them killers. This man, according to media law, should be charged with libel and false reporting, and he will be convicted on all fronts!
3- Not only was he accusing people, he draggs the name of the Washing Instition for Middle East Policy in the middle of all this, presenting it as a Jewish lobby. Regardless of one's opinion in the role that the institute plays, it is a research institute, its main concern is academic. For a man of academia to visit it and have a discussion of middle eastern affairs is perfectly normal.
I am really enraged! Even though I slightly agree with the writer's theory, it is a theory. WE DO NOT REPORT THEORIES IN JOURNALISM. WE ONLY REPORT FACTS.
It is a crime for such a person to be an editor in chief.
