A good article from Terence Carter about the shoddy reporting standard affecting articles on Dubai. There has been some serious bullshit being thrown around on New York Times and the Guardian.
I’ll be the first one to admit that Dubai is in trouble. No different from USA, UK which is borrowing so much money to help out it’s banks. But what’s being throw against Dubai is crap. It’s being said that Dubai is a ghost town, people are running from the country like rats off a sinking boat. That is entirely untrue. Just read Terrence’s article.
Here are some of those guilty articles. If you’re from Dubai you will see the BS in there:
- Laid-Off Foreigners Flee as Dubai Spirals Down – The New York Times
- Dubai’s ‘Crass’ Architecture – The Guardian (This one is hilarious)
- The world was at his feet – The Sydney Morning Herald
- Dubai Dreams (Video) – The Guardian
