Just a friendly reminder that there is a “fixer” in Lebanon who scams foreign correspondents into paying him money to set up interviews with fake Hezbollah commanders and fighters.
Most journalists see right through this. The ones who don’t end up producing “exclusives” with very obviously fake Hezbollah soldiers.
We all laugh at it.
Hezbollah officials are not impossible to interview.
They have a media office for exactly that purpose, for setting up interviews. Major media outlets have interviewed them, I have interviewed them.
But fighters and commanders are almost impossible because they take their security very seriously, as any military organization during a war would be expected to.
So, be very skeptical of the “exclusives” with those masked fighters who dish all of Hezbollah’s plans to western correspondents who parachute in 😂
