Elitism. Now, many TV programs have audiences. Hariri (Future) TV has a new program. I hate the name and the premise. The name is "The Most Beautiful People" (Ahla An-Nas); the premise: an audience of people who are university students, exclusively. The host is Zahi Wahbi: a former fighter in Rabitat Ash-Shaghghilah (Toilers' League): a small Marxist-Leninist organization that fought in the civil war and was headed by Dhafir Al-Khatib, and later by his brother, Zahir. Wahbi was arrested by Israeli occupation forces in 1982, and he served time (with thousands of other Lebanese) in Ansar Camp. Later, Wahbi discovered the virtues of Harirism.
