Ajib: We wonder why this rubbish was written? It has the footprints (hoofs more likely), fantasies (and the BDs) of the honorable and bearded gentlemen who want to stay in the press.

Yesterday’s Political Development Institute’s workshop on journalism touched upon this subject. There is a good report in today’s Al-Waqt in which 4 of the 7 editors-in-chief attended.

I loved this quote most by Bashmi and I think it hits the nail very much on the head with a 4-pound hammer!

إبراهيم بشمي: أتمنى ألا تصبح يا أنور في يوم من الأيام وزير الإعلام أو قاضياً وإلا فإننا سنحبس لمدة 25 سنة.

Ibrahim Bashmi (editor-in-chief of Al-Waqt) addressing Anwar Abdulrahman (editor-in-cheif of Akhbar Al-Khaleej and the Gulf Daily News): I hope you do not become a Minister of Information one of these days Anwar, or a judge, as if you do we will be imprisoned for 25 years!<

You know my views on Anwar, and now someone else publicly agrees with my estimation of the gentleman in question!

if you remember we had a conversation about this newspaper before. although some of their articles are good, and they have provided a kick to the other newspapers, a lot of what they publish is pure C**P. based on unsubstantiated hearsay, one or two sources who may have an axe to grind or are simply ignorant and voila, they have filled themselves a page.
very tabloidy and very unprofessional.
same goes for the biased surveys they used to print on the last page. until another newspaper printed that they were the most popular, etc. and they jumped to refute the results. all of a sudden they knew how not to do a survey?
i stopped subscribing when i read their biased report on the crime that took place at a restaurant on Budaiya road.
which is precisely why speech cannot be completely free. there must be laws to regulate the media so that the media understands what is publishable news and what is hearsay. otherwise innocent people and organisations can end up losing their livelihood and/or their reputation.

Just read the entire article :

Indeed, what a load of bullcrap.

Articles like these shouldn’t be published.

At least they didn’t publish a list of “school names” :/.

If you remember, Al-Wasat did something like this before if I remember correctly – although in a more general manner….

Thing is, there was a lot of bullcrap in that previous article about Ahmed Al Omran Secondary School.

It was published 2 years ago and the sum of it was like this :

Ahmed al Omran school :

1. Weed smoking inside classes.
2. Homosexual buttrape inside classes during recess.
3. Selling and buying of drugs inside the school.
4. Teachers uh.. molesting students.

And more of the same ilk, rephrased in different ways.

They also said just about the same thing about “lesbian groups” in girl schools.

Since it was my first year in Ahmed Al Omran School when I read that (hell, everyone in the school told me to read the newspaper on that day since in the photo they took outside the school had me in it, running off to get in the car as fast as possible to avoid traffic – they had blurred the faces but it wasn’t hard recognizing me due to my hair / clothes) I was a bit terrified.

The newspaper also claimed that those were all “student’s words”.

They musta been real school-hating, smart bastards to come up with the idea of giving away all of that bullshit eh?

Of course, sooner or later – it turned out all to be 100% pure bullshit, the closest thing to all of that crap was students sometimes smoking CIGARETTES – NOT WEED – in the bathrooms – they’re occasionally caught though .

However, the bad press had hit our school pretty hard – we can’t go on any field trips or anything – all organizations simply reject the idea as soon as they hear the name Ahmed Al Omran School.

Sorry for ranting.
