Farouk, with whom I speak in the video, is one of the more unusual mainstream journalists in that he’s from the ghettos, and can thus speak as a ghetto resident, but he's also a media professional, and so can look, simultaneously, at the reality from that perspective. Furthermore, he doesn’t try to hide his roots and isn’t brainwashed by the mainstream media’s biased reporting. (Apologies for the background noise). All of which stands in contrast to what I'd like to highlight in the rest of this piece.
