Al Quds Al Arabi under total Qatari control

From Ahmet in Tunisia:  "Asad, this is the type of  dumb editorial choices  that basically leaves no doubt about who is now outrightly  owning the newspaper: the Qatari Princely doings are now a front page story of Alquds al Arabi in a Middle East region dripping with blood and torn by all types of conflict.. You can check here the PDF version Page 1 (Story headline in its bottom:  "The Emir's Father participated in Camel Trekking; The Chief of Goverment played football and run and Sheikh Tamim and his Ministers make appearances in  sporting festivals to encourage Qataris to adopt a healthy lifestyle"...Souns familiar and it seems like The House of al Thani will get their own Al Sharq Awsat.."
