Three years ago, that is, on October 17, when large crowds filled the streets and demanded a change of political class and the abandonment of sectarianism, another scene was similarly shaped, politically directing the popular this uprising and working to suppress it. in shooting at parties, not at others. Since then, a huge media machine, and a field already, has been working to deceive Hezbollah and the Independent Patriotic Movement, limiting their targeting and burdening them with what the country has achieved even after the 17th. of October.

This machine has been able, albeit to varying degrees, to plant this show in the minds of people tired of the harsh economic and social conditions. As we enter the third year after October 17 demonstrations that took place between the two political parties, lacking in their defense mechanisms or even in their decision to refrain from participating in such conflicts and in the upcoming election battle this month, the media scene has become apparent. , wake yourself and your screens with these forces, And your work in different techniques, trying to avoid accusations against him, and reveal the hidden side of this propaganda.

Al-Manar has given up the craving and personalization that always showcases anti-corruption programs.

Thus, the parliamentary election provided an opportunity for both ITV and Al-Manar to participate in research programs and present to public opinion the facts and figures they collect over a period of months or even years. Each of the two channels seemed to have a unique space in what the other screens were selling, filtering their platforms to candidates and their huge amount of money in exchange for media appearances. In early March last year, ITV launched the Hour of Truth program, the first season of which ended at the end of April last year, with the presentation of nine episodes focused on corruption dossiers, from electricity to people displaced, and in the Middle East, Solider, subsidized loans, fraudulent fuel, management of the Bank du Liban and so on. A weekly program that includes elements of youth to showcase it, as well as evidence and documents, hosting journalists, professionals and even ministers who have succeeded in portfolios related to the topics of the issues. Program preparation team member Nancy Saab taught us that Truth Time took months to prepare, collect documents, and present them to the public. Saab does not deny the program’s connection to parliamentary elections and its intersection with them, but mainly focuses on the importance of judiciary actions by intelligence or by parliament to complete cases. Saab also made no secret of how tired people are of such programs, even if you show them material exposing a corrupt knight, assuring us that a program that has achieved, as you say, high traffic received widespread attention from the “elites” who sought to follow the path of the Program to find out what had happened to important files in the country. Regarding the inclusion of a part of the youth in the program to perform the task of presenting and simplifying information for the audience, Saab associates these people with what he calls “change” and the message they want to convey with their deep knowledge. this and other files. Here he criticizes the use of slogans by young people, without knowing its content and not knowing their details.
Produced according to Al-Manar, last launched at the end of March last year, the Corruption and Justice program, whose title was taken from a book released by Hezbollah two months ago, is called Corruption and Justice. Judiciary: The Complete Dossier 2018-2022 ″ in which the party presents 14 dossiers on corruption in state administrations and ministries, supported by thousands of documents, submitted to the financial prosecutor’s offices and then moved to “Administration and Justice”. committee after the delay in the judiciary, return and refer the complaint to the judicial inspection. A rocky legal path in a country ruled by bigotry, red lines around corrupt officials and irresponsibility, until it became a book aimed at covering all parts of Lebanese society, as confirmed by MP Hassan Fadlallah in the first phase of “Corruption and Justice”, making it visual, audio and electronic material, allows the public to see its details and trace the path of more than three years of legislative and administrative work, in addition to the commitment made by Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah in 2018 to fight corruption in the bloc’s election program “Loyalty to the Resistance”. A book and a program launched after the party’s resounding silence in recent years, in which the process of checking corruption files has become a platform for satire. Now, he wants to start exposing the corrupt and those involved in the country’s total collapse, using the language of numbers and evidence, away from the media hype and personal slander that often accompanies the opening of such files. Investigative programs or those “appeals” to corruption and corrupt officials have always been linked to bias in personalization and fixing marks, especially in recent times after the port explosion, and use of anger by man to convey it to another purpose. The producer and host of the program Manar Sabbagh, in an interview with us, taught the station’s standards, to avoid hype and even the mention of those involved, despite the ease of doing so, because the names of these people are included in the documents and evidence involving them. Sabbah’s words meet what Saab said about the program’s attractiveness for the elite and that some parties, even internationals, are interested in working on the principles of transparency and anti-corruption, as well as the book and the facts mentioned here. Sabbah stressed here that following these legal paths, in addition to fixing scores and investing in elections, and the station’s desire to publish the content of the stages on social platforms to reach the largest segment of the people, to detect them and identify corrupt, and in this way, strive to protect public money and respond to campaigns affecting Hezbollah in a way that relies on professionalism, accuracy and methodology in its work. In this way, each of the two channels allows for the media to be different from the other screens, and shows in public opinion a significant effort to expose the facts and pockets of corruption in times of vandalism. flattery and political exploitation, and because the disinformation of the media that still exists with its tools and its voices became stronger during the election.
