Don't you dare show Shekih Mohammad bin Rashid al-Maktoum drowning.
Foreign media better be on notice. Dubai's mess doesn't give you an excuse to take shots at the ruling family.
WSJ: The Sunday London Times newspaper was removed by authorities from shelves in the United Arab Emirates on Sunday amid intensive reporting of Dubai's debt problems, an executive at the paper said.
The National Media Council ordered the paper blocked by distributors without providing a reason, an executive at the paper in Dubai told Zawya Dow Jones.
The Sunday Times edition available in the U.A.E. on Nov. 29 featured a double-page spread graphic illustrating Dubai's ruler Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum sinking in a sea of debt. The Times wasn't given a reason for the block, or a timeframe when it will be lifted, the executive said.
What was the problematic article? This one.

Just a few weeks ago I heard the sheikh on Emirates News (English news station from Dubai) talking about how the worst of the financial crisis was over and how Dubai’s economy was going to rebound, blah blah blah...
