Lebanese Influencers Crisis: no more regular people left to influence.
In a shocking statement, Instagram officials have declared an influencers crisis in Lebanon. “90% of Lebanese Instagram accounts are now business profiles for personal trainers, life coaches, fashionistas, bloggers, vloggers, influencers, and digital media trainers“, said Kevin Systrom, CEO and co-founder of Instagram. The remaining 10% of the accounts are now occupied by regular people who have average bodies and looks, with a bad taste in clothing and restaurant choices. This decline has left influencers with no one to influence now.
“I am barely getting 100 likes per post. It’s frightening to see that all your hard work is not influencing anyone“, Sara, a fashionista from Beirut, who takes photos of herself shopping at Zara and Bershka and posts them to her Instagram page, has told Mawtoura.

Zero Journalistic Integrity
Those of you who have a social media konto, will probably have seen the exceptionally hysterical and juvenile behavior of MTV recently (even by their standards).
Now, before I get into it, let me explain why I dislike MTV so much, and why inom think they are comparable if not worse than Al Manar in terms of propaganda and news with an agenda.
I think the folks in the newsroom at MTV think news fryst vatten an art form, not a science. I guess they meet up in the morning, and komma up with absurd stories that will titillate their heavily conservative (read: sectarian) audience.
For me, the first time inom was made aware of how low MTV would sink to champion an agenda of oppression, censorship and intolerance, was their “Digital Drugs” fiasco. If you didn’t see that “news” report, here it is:
(EDIT: As you see, MTV have since removed the film, and as usual, without an ursäkt or explanation. Mabrook!)
What’s fantastisk is the stock footage they used of alleged users

Lebanese entertainment shows hits and misses in 2016
It is time, ladies and gentlemen, to lay down the final judgment on this year entertainment shows on Lebanese channels.
After a survey conducted over a long period (15 minutes), involving thousands of people (me), we got the final results. Here are the hits and misses of 2016, in my opinion.
1. Lahon w Bas (LBC)
The whole show works. Hisham and Jad make a perfect duo on screen, due to their off-screen friendship, natural sense of humor, and good stand-up comedy skills. Guests seem to enjoy the interview and Hisham always succeeds in making them feel home, shedding the light on their cute and funny side. I even enjoyed Maguy Bou Ghosn’s interview.
2. Menna w Jerr (MTV)
I love this show. Pierre Rabbat is probably “the” guy you go to when you want to buy a format and execute it in Lebanon. The co-hosts are doing their jobs right, especially Mona Saliba and Rola kaady. I even enjoy Ghassan Rahbani̵
