Too many Western journalists loathe the region, viewing it and its people as career stepping stones. This piece by @ABarnardNYT on Beirut is the opposite: a patchwork of embrace https://nyti.ms/2jpmZbc https://nyti.ms/2jpmZbc

Really? That is not my experience - the region is full of journalists who love the place and are passionate about it. May not get the story right but unfair to suggest they loathe it.

I'm not suggesting. I know plenty over the years who never tried to accept the culture or religion or appreciate the history, always comparing it to US or UK and looking down on life outside the foreigner bubble. Let's not pretend those journalists don't exist

And they're not usually the ones that stick around long enough to get the story right.
