The reporter is probably appearing to be dark faced for a reason. It seems that he was playing off a Turkish proverb that says, roughly, that a person who asks for a favor darkens his face, but a person who then refuses to grant that person a favor has an even darker face. The idea seems to be something like what English-speakers mean when they say that they are "red-faced" with embarrassment.
So, in other words there ain't too much to read into here because ain't nothin' goin' on. - 2 years ago
