...is what they announce. "See tomorrow's Gulf News for full details."
Then, tomorrow, this. ("Fire, croc and mermaid latest e-mail spoofs")
Why report on something that might be a spoof when known the day before? Is this what modern-day reporting has come to in a restricted UAE media scene?
Second link doesn't work :-(
ReplyDeleteHeya hun... I'm still reading Gulf News almost daily from waaaaaaaaaaay over here. They are trying REAL hard to sensationalize their paper, and it's obvious - even from the wording in some of the more serious articles. My bet is, it's the new competition they're afraid of; it's turning them into a tabloid of sorts.
ReplyDeleteBy the way has anyone got all the mermaid photos? I never got the email, so only saw the one in Gulf News, but apparently there were several.
ReplyDeletesoon there'll be UFOs sightings.
ReplyDeleteDJ: there's been about 3 UFO sightings (as far as I can remember) over the last 20 years - all in the desert. In fact the last one I know off, perhaps in late 90's - seem quite real - the sighting was reported by a few Emiratis amongst them, an Army officer.
