The above quotation speaks of "the far right-wing Lebanese TV station, MTV." That is silly. MTV is a Lebanese entertainment TV channel. Here's an example of one of its hit game shows, "Heik Menghanni": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGP1U3KUg6Q . Just looking at the way the host of that game show is dressed -- she's wearing a bathing costume -- and seeing the ambiance of the show, and without knowledge of Levantine Arabic, you can fairly conclude "far right wing" is an inapt label. I've seen many other videos from that Lebanese TV channel at Youtube, and I can testify that the ones that get high viewcounts at Youtube (as in Lebanon itself no doubt) are music and entertainment shows. Some of the entertainers have political opinions known to me, and their opinions are all across the spectrum.
