Whoever came up with this website, "The New Arab" is doing a great job on reporting and this in light that the other "Western" news site on the Middle East basically is starting to spew leftist pablum all the time. Both are located in England and Middle East Eye just seems like the Labour-Liberal-Brit view. Shame on them. Yes, and "The New Arab" is headquartered in London, so I'm not sure of all of their leanings but they seem real decent to me. Middle East Eye is a project from a former Guardian.co.uk writer.
