Can they Handle it? Hawi as Communist

A reader writes:

‘ I noted with some relish the subtleties of perception. You and Al-Jazeera identify Georges Hawi [up front] as a communist. CNN and others identify him as an anti-Syrian politician. They [later] add “former secretary-general” leaving his present membership in the party up in the air. This is clearly some version of the “pretty girl in protest march” perception of the Middle East politics. ‘
