This is an excerpt from a precise article by a Saudi Arabian Journalist.
"We recognize that we are not perfect people and we make mistakes like any other individual or society, but the question is why this media does not talk about the positive aspects and concentrate only on the negatives. Why doesn’t it talk about graduation ceremonies of the Saudi graduates abroad, why doesn’t it cover activities of special needs people who win awards in international competitions? Why can’t we see on YouTube a clip titled Riyadh working for a better future showing the metro project?
These are just some questions, as the list is endless. It is good enough to make people smile, but to ridicule others is immoral and unethical. Giving one-sided picture could be anything but far from objectivity. This is stereotyping and a stigma to label other people with and this is exactly what this absurd media is doing. They care most to show our flaws or failures that are common in every society. And we don’t want our media to whitewash them, but we want it to show the other side of the coin."
