According to Abeer Mishkhas, the interview of Rania Al-Baz on the Oprah Winfrey show, which enraged many Saudis because it presented a very negative image of Saudi women, and made Saudi Arabia looks like “a country where the national sport is wife-beating!”, was supposed to be a part of another program about battered women around the world.

However, the producers of the show have taken the interview and included it in another show about women from around the world. So, in Abeer Mishkhas words, “the battered women of the world did not include a battered Saudi woman; rather a battered Saudi woman was presented as a representative of all Saudi women in a program about women in general.” I cannot understand how such a longstanding show can be so unprofessional sometimes.
