Fatin Hamamah's obituary in the Times

Whenever an Arab cultural icon dies, it takes the New York Times days or weeks to publish an obituary.  The reason is that they don't have in-house Middle East experts and they have to wait to read what was written in the British press before they produce some lame obituary. Notice in this one about Fatin Hamamah there is no reference to her staunch support for the Sisi and Mubarak regimes.
