By Qatari market I meant the Market in Qatar. Which is Arab 40%, Indian 18%, Pakistani 18%, Iranian 10%, other 14% (thank you CIA factbook) The largest percentage, and most certainly the paying percentage are Arab, and most of them do not come from free press, at least not free press in the Western sense. Westerners make up only 5%, therefore there are three English papers, and given the general media saviness of Asia, they are pretty much standard fare, and they do look at some things (like the labourers) critically.
