Egypt's Jon Stewart Is No Hero


My latest post for the Hup Post
Bassem Youssef, the famous host of an Egyptian satire news show, is being sued. Bassem is no hero of mine, and there are countless others who share my view. Facebook is riddled with pages and groups who declare their lack of affection for Bassem Youssef. The former heart surgeon has been gaining fans and building an audience throughout the Arab world with his jokes and zingers. At the get-go, I loved his jokes and delivery. I thought he was the missing breeze of comedy the Arab world has been missing.

Interesting piece. I don't know that he claimed to be a hero, but maybe became one to those who champion free speech/free expression. I enjoyed Jon Stewart's challenge to Morsi. Did you see it?
