PM, as I said earlier, ground and conditions available in the west are by far better than conditions available in Qatar. However, at the current situation, western media is as bad as our media. Yes our media says what governments wants, your media does the same too. Difference is that, in the west, opponents can have their say but they don’t, for various reasons among which is control and lying by omission and diverting attention to small issues during critical times. So many tricks. In the future, hoping that the west learns the lesson and they correct the situation, western media will be significantly impartial. That is yet to happen.
I won’t argue that some feel Qataris cannot be trusted with the knowledge the media would report on, but this is exactly the same reason for which the west, governments, is using its previously mentioned tricks. They cannot trust the people to support their policies once they have a full and clear picture. Same thing. Western governments talk about spreading democracy and free media, while they themselves have strongest control ever.
PaulCown, you are right, but this is why I say conditions in the west are by far better than conditions here because once the people know and will to change and capitalize on past record, then they could make correction happen to a level where there can be true free media. This is something, if things stay as they are, we may not be able to have because of restrictions. Granted. However, Currently, we are at the same level.
Believe me people, we (people to people) have more in common than we each do have with our governments. It is only when we become victims of the propaganda does that rule get violated.
Adey, if you are going to talk about cats and elephants, Perhaps the zoo would be a better place for you to hold that discussion.
