Our Media is not Weak
The explosion of the port on August 4, 2020 must not go unnoticed nor be tolerated, with the attempt to influence and intimidate the media by accusing it of exaggerating and provoking public opinion. Every time, politicians try to throw the weight of their sins, negligence and complicity on the media.

With the huge explosion, which not enough time has elapsed yet to ease its impact on people, psychologically, physically and materially, politicians have tried to evade responsibility, and to this day the investigations have not yet determined the actual responsibility, prompting officials to invite the media not to be provoking, as if the media was the one who killed 200 innocent people, injured 600 others, displaced about 300 thousand from their homes, damaged 70 thousand housing units, destroyed economic institutions, and inflicted moral damage on half the Lebanese people. They forgot that the international media broadcasted live scenes from Beirut, ignored that the authorities cheered the explosion considering that it contributed in ending the isolation of Lebanon, and they do not recognize that the media contributed to providing aid to Lebanon.

The Lebanese media conveyed the pain of the people, who are its family, neighbors and relatives, those who do not have a voice, and no one listens to them, were it not for the media pressure. Does the authority want to suppress people and prevent them from crying and screaming? Will it prevent a mother from crying over her only child?

It was not the media that caused the calamity, but rather it did its moral and conscientious duty ... and most importantly its professional duty. Therefore, thank you to all fellow media professionals.
