Elaph - AlRub3y is fine, we called him and checked.
AlWatan - AlRub3y is in critical condition!! (without bothering to even ask anyone)!!
————————————————————————————————-
Talk about shit journalism and even worse morals, not putting in mind the effect this bullshit has on some people!!
AlWatan put this info on their back page of the newspaper today. Apparently they changed the info in the new edition, but that doesn’t change the fact that its extremely unprofessional and unethical to publish something like that in the first place without double checking….
…..oh wait, its AlWatan we’re talking about, thats exactly what they are!!

This wouldn’t have happened if AlRub3y had a blog.

Glad he’s okay. It is very irresponsible of them to publish that.

From the time it was bought by Ali Al-Khalifa (Ali Baba) AlWatan newspaper used to misguide the people of Kuwait. What we need now is to boycott this news paper. A true campaign by honest people would damage the reputation and the credibility of this newspaper and no one would buy it any more…

’shit journalism’.. well described!
June 22nd, 2006 at 5:28 pm
yellow journalism.
al-watan should be boycotted by all and this should be publicized with the relaunch of the mnuch awaited nabeeha 5 campaign following the elections

I don’t even know him personally and I was offended and pissed off!
If their journalism ethics and capabilities have sunk this low, they’re not worth having a paper!
They’d better have a retraction! A VERY good one mind you!

I can’t wait to see Ali ‘Baba’ behind bars.

I am so sorry that his family had to go through that! I imagine 7 million calls coming in and them having to explain his condition. It’s not just the journalism aspect it’s the rumors that come about due to such irresponisible statement. My heart skipped a beat when someone told me a horrible rumor about Dr Rub3i but I kept it to myself and prayed for him and thanked God that he was fine when I found out the truth. Ya3ni if you hear something like that just shut the hell up until you’re sure for Gods sake! Anyway, if this tells you anything, aside from the journalism aspect, it tells you this man is something amazing in this country and so special for everyone and our hearts all go out to him and his family. Makoo shay b3eed 3ala Allah oo Alla yajurhum fee balwat’hum hathi oo yirja3lina il doctor salim mafeeh illa kil 5air oo 3afia.

Q: alwatan marfoo3 3nhum ilqalam ! and Dr.ahmed akbar minhum !
June 24th, 2006 at 8:11 pm
I’m glad that he is fine and getting better inshallah and people should not participate in spreading bad news.
It’s enough when the newspapers are irresponsible.

Al-Watan never fails to surprise me with the lows they succumb to.
How pathetic.

Just heard about this via LINGUIST. The bit that intrigued me is the suggestion that machines can measure how drunk you are based on prosody alone.
