Shock horror sensation: yes, it's a new thread at last

Unfortunately despite several very interesting suggestions we really cannot do posts on unsubstantiated and potentially defamatory rumours and allegations of corruption and sexual indiscretions among UAE media people, much as we might love to.

So while we await an exciting yet safe suggestion, how about your opinions on this thought-provoking anonymous reader comment:
We all know that all of you westerners working in the media in the UAE are good for nothing and will do anything just to suck the money out of any company you work for. I just hope one day the media industry will wake up and kick you all out back to where you belong.

Comment on a racist rant? Why?

Troll. Not worthy of any response.

Seriously? Two months of nothing and now this? Then three days between first two posts ... Oh dear.

In my case he's somewhat correct. I sucked them dry moved home and I'm a media consultant who makes more than I ever did in the UAE. That's the whole point of going to the UAE.

Why don't you guys sell this blog and use the proceeds to make a small donation to the plight of the thousands of people that have been well and truly fucked by this wonderful phenomena that is Middle Eastern capitalism? Property scams, forced bankruptcy, inprisonment, scapegoat scandals, property, unfair dismisals, the list goes on - that way your sorry excuse for web space may actually be helping a few human beings.

Latest news from The National:

They're claiming circulation of 60,000, with 20,000 given away free and another 20K in single-copy sales. Not remotely plausible.

Thanks that's a good one, we'll post it as a thread.
