LBCI Chairman Pierre El Daher denied in a statement to Nabad.tv the reports stating that journalist Sami Kleib joined the company as a political talk show host, or that such a project is in the works.
He explained that LBCI contacted Kleib between March and April to host a special episode with caretaker Minister Gebran Bassil, like many other journalists who presented special episodes on LBCI with political figures.
However today, El Daher denied the information circulating that Kleib resigned from al-Mayadeen after receiving an offer from him, calling on everyone to verify the source of information before publishing.
