        Oblivious Retweeted Dr. Al-Zuhayyan

        Claimed that the Indian/Pakistani majority working at AN have asked him to write in favor of “granting citizenships for foreigners” which is a very controversial topic in here. To which he did not, and wrote against it, and was fired the next day. Nonsensehttps://twitter.com/drzuhayyan/status/989099745640632320?s=21 …

        Oblivious added,

        Dr. Al-Zuhayyan @DrZuhayyan
        فصلني الهنود والباكستانية من Arab News لانهم طلبوا مني الكتابة ادعو لتجنيس الاجانب، فكتبت ضد التجنيس، ففصلوني اليوم الثاني! انها تحارب الدولة والسعوديين منذ عقود، باختيار تغطية اضطهاد الاجانب ادينا. ومنذ نشأتها لم تساهم في تقديم كتاب سعوديين او اعداد صحفيين ومحررين بالانجليزية!

        Quentin de Pimodan Retweeted Dr. Al-Zuhayyan

        I know of a journalist who worked at Arab News and spent his life defending and championing with the greatest valor the rights of these expats. The gap between the dignity of this latter and the one of Dr. Zuhayyan couldn't be wider...https://twitter.com/DrZuhayyan/status/996816866856316928 …

        That’s one of the many reasons why local news outlets don’t attract me.
