In defence of Bernie Lions he did start the breakfast show with a Marilyn Manson track a couple of weeks ago. Driving in to work in the Middle-East to that after catching the end of the religious broadcast was one of life's more surreal moments.
On a more serious note I think that the issue is the dispensing of news in general. If you're constantly aware of the need not to criticise, or even imply it, then news coverage is going to be limited.
I think that this is an issue for the younger Qataris (and there are some thinking ones out there)to take up. This culture will be theirs in future and they need to play a role in shaping it.
