Marcel Ghanem (Arabic: مارسيل غانم) (born 1964) is a Lebanese journalist known for hosting popular political talk shows, including "Kalam El-Nas" (Arabic: كلام الناس) and currently "Sar el Waqt" (Arabic: صار الوقت).[1][2] While popular, Ghanem's career has been marked by accusations of promoting misinformation and alleged bias in coverage, which critics argue contributes to polarized public opinion in Lebanon.[3]
Some observers claim his platform has been used to disseminate divisive narratives that cater to specific political interests, thus affecting his public image and making him one of the most contentious figures in Lebanese journalism. These practices, according to critics, have contributed to his reputation as " the most hated man in Lebanon " reflecting broader concerns about media ethics and hate speech in the country.[4]
