Summary:
Basing her thesis around the recent civil war in Egypt, Harb juxtaposed the two major broadcast networks available in two Middle Eastern countries — Al Jazeera in Qatar, and Al Arabiya in Dubai — as a warning as to what a nation with a limited and biased media can become.
From minute details like diction choice to neglecting to report on a nationwide protest, Harb cited countless journalistic errors being broadcast from both Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya simultaneously.
