Essam Al-Ghalib, the Saudi journalist who helped producing the interview with Rania Al-Baz for the Oprah Winfrey Show, has written an open letter to Oprah. He said that including the interview in the wrong context was “irresponsible and was the clearest example of media bias and propaganda” he has ever seen. Al-Ghalb is asking Oprah’s permission to release the one-hour-interview to an Arab television network in order to undo some of the damage Oprah did to Rania’s, and Saudi women’s, reputation. I don’t think she will give him permission to do so, and even if she gave him, that will do nothing.

I too dont think Oprah will do anything to make up for Rania’s situation, Oprah is very influential person, and whatever she says, people lap it up. She is so influential that when she recommends a book, it becomes an instant bestseller. So whatever she said about Rania, people there will believe in it. It’s like she has snatched away Rania’s honor, and thats not replacable.
