The scandals of UAE ambassador in DC

I have chosen to not carry the Intercept story about the UAE ambassador's personal life, based on leaked emails.  I also noticed that all US and Western media chosen to not cover the story.  I would have agreed with that decision if they would have been as restrained professionally if the story related to the private lives of Syrian or Iranian ambassadors.  If the story was about the Iranian ambassador in NYC, the New York Times would have carried the story on the front page.
