You can see that everything in this video cannot be taken literally ('the biggest story in the world') and the author Bruce seems to be pretty one sided in the views shown. But, Bruce still presents some valid points and it is worth watching if unfamiliar with Dubai.

The video gives an interesting view on where the world economy could lead and I don't see any blaring misstatements. But, I could be wrong and know little about either Bruce Fenton or Jim Rogers.

This could be an important story, but because of the questionable correlations drawn, lack of convincing evidence, and single perspective focus I am unsure of how much to trust this piece.

I'm not sure about the newspaper's credibility, but the report by Ernst and Young seems correctly cited. "The Islamic Funds & Investments Report 2007" can be found at: http://www.ey.com/GLOBAL/content.nsf/Middle_East/IFSG_Publications

It seems a good story just because of implications of the Saudi visit for the prisoners at Gitmo. Otherwise I can't really vouch for the blog's or Gulf New's credibility.

Seems a well balanced story that is staying away from portraying this problem in a sensationalistic way.

An interesting story worth reading, though I am unsure about the credibility and balance of claims made (like when addressing peak oil).

Good topic with an unbalanced view. An interesting read, though it seems more centered around incitement of emotion rather than proper analysis.

The study the press release addresses was done by the University of California, Berkeley, and Tulane University (both well respected). On brief inspection the methodology of the study seems sound and Anwar's report well done.

The article may be true, but it seems too sensationalistic while not addressing important aspects of the claims made.

An interview that presents a narrow view which relies solely on the interviewees past accomplishments for credibility (no sources of any sort were presented to back up claims).
