The real reason why Amr Adib didnt show up ?!

Although am not an Egyptian but I still watch the daily talk-show “Al-Qahira Alyawm” (Cairo Today) on ORBIT. To be honest I watch it most of the time because I like the way Amr Adeeb presents the show, where he talks like any normal person in the street, doe not use difficult Arabic words and doesn’t try to showoff how sophisticated he is, Although he is really a good journalist and if he wanted to do it that way he easily can.
On Saturday 3rd of November 2007, we were shocked to realize that Amr Adib was not presenting and that Khairy Ramadan and the beautiful Rania Farid Shawqy were going to co-host the show for today and Kairy announced that Amr Adib is out of the country and that he will be back tomorrow (Sunday 4th of November 2007). But still the next day Amr didn’t appeare and Kairy co-hosted the show with Ahmed Mousa and re-announced that Amr is out of the country and that he will be back the next day (Monday 5th of November 2007).
I started wondering if Amr Adib actually got fired or was eliminated or thousands of other possibilities, because I remember that Nirvana Idris who left the show couple of years ago, Amr Adib came on for several episodes and he gave different reasons every-time why she is not there with him, in the end after few days he announced that she left the show. So I got that exact feeling, but he showed up yesterday 5th of November and hosted the show.
So what was the reason for not showing up the first 2 days of this week?, If you watch the show from start to the end of each episode you would realize that those 2 episodes had important guests from “The Egyptian National Democratic Party” (El7ezb Elwatany), and as we know Amr Adib is outspoken and does not care what is the rank of the person he is interviewing, he asks the questions without caring what the result would be. So maybe those guests demanded that the only way they would be in the show if Amr Adib does not host those 2 episodes.
This is just my own understanding to what really happened.

I know I know expect anything from FOX News, but really I am amazed that people actually watch this channel and freakin believe a word it says. Anyway I was chatting online and people were saying that Barack Obama made a little girl cry, i said come on!! i mean its not impossible but why and how, so I search the net, and i reach to mediamatters.org, and get the full picture.
What actually happened is that in Fox News America’s Newsroom co-host Megyn Kelly teased an upcoming story by saying “Well, in other news, Barack Obama makes a little girl cry. What? That story … in five minutes.”, and then later co-host Bill Hemmer corrected the story that Obama actually took questions from the 5 year old hadasah jones after she shed some tears and got his attention.
So its just business as usual in FOX News, misleading and false news…

I moved to www.ibrahimo.com, to read this post in the new blog please CLICK HERE.
Aljazeera Sport channels announced today that they have won the exclusive coverage of EURO 2008 on their channels in the middle east. And that there is no way they will be selling those rights to any other networks in the region, and they promised their subscribers a very high quality coverage.
Euro 2008 will take place in Austria and Switzerland from the 7th to the 29th June 2008.
The Channel also announced that “Aljazeera Sport +3” will start on January 2008 which will be mostly used for Clubs Channels such as Chelsea TV and Manchester City TV and so on. The channels will also increase their transmission hours from 50 to 75 hours daily, so “JSC1” will be 24 hours and “JSC2” 12 hours, and “JSC+1” 24 hours and “JSC+2” 12 hours.
So all good news…. maybe now we will forgive them the headaches they gave us in the Spanish league and losing a part of the Italian league to ART.

An amazing and very interesting interview for Garry Kasparov on “Real Time with Bill Maher”, although i do not agree totally with him, but he does raise allot of important issues and he knows what he is talking about.
Amazing Interview and you could see just how amazed Bill Maher is with him and how he is so ready to answer any question.
