You never realize how pathetic and awful Arab media are, and how dominated they all are by filthy oil money, until some Arab autocratic leader from an oil-rich country dies. Just today, Shaykh Zayid Bin Sultan, the polygamous autocrat of the United Arab Emirates died. And all the Arab media (the conservative, the liberal, the leftist, and the Arab nationalist) are singing his praises. You do not hear one critical voice against him. Not one.
