Feedback: Bias Is Showing On Arab Tsunami Story
Feedback: Your Bias Is Showing On Arab Tsunami
Story
Your bias is showing or perhaps you need to widen your sources.
I refer to the article "Tsunami
Political Victims: how it swamped Al Qaeda" by PG Buchanan.
I live in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and I can
assure you that there have been huge efforts in the Gulf
States to raise money and goods to send to the tsunami
areas. In Saudi Arabia $85 million was raised in a charity
show, $5 million in a similar effort in Dubai. These are
some examples of what has been reported here. Perhaps these
news items are ignored in New Zealand. The government of
this country has also sent substantial assistance.
It is bad enough that you published this biased
article without comment but it is very misleading that you
gave it the headline 'Why Arab Nations are absent from
tsunami relief effort'. In my opinion it wasn't at all the
main point of the writer.
Generally I find your site
very informative and I enjoy the discussion. But this one is
a long way from the facts of the situation.
Sincerely
Catherine Hill - Abu Dhabi, United Arab
