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.
