Thank you, my friend PO1 William "Chip" Nagel for sharing the unsurprising-to-me fact that Lebanese Satirist Karl reMarks "skewers Middle East pundits" in his latest book And Then God Created the Middle East and said ‘Let There Be Breaking News.’”
"Karl Sharro: The title came from an old tweet of mine, and actually the full title is "... And Then Said 'Let there Be Breaking News Analysis.'" It was one of a series of observations that we were making about the international media's obsession with reporting on the Middle East.
Carol Hills: Karl, I know you love to take on pundits, especially those who try to explain the Middle East.
One of my favorite things is when pundits say things like, "This aspect of the Middle East is complex, it's thorny, and very difficult to understand. Here's my 500-word article explaining it all."
