Al Jazeera and SputnikNews note that when Qatar won the Asia Cup tournament last week with a victory over Japan, the news media in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain did everything they could to avoid or minimize the name of the victor.
The tournament was played in the UAE.
Al Bayan in the UAE headlined the story as "Japan loses" instead of "Qatar wins," only mentioning the Qatari team as an aside in the second paragraph.
Most of this UAE article referred to Qatar as merely "the opponent."
Gulf nations cut off relations with Qatar over its policy of remaining friendly with Iran.

This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For over 19 years and 40,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
