It's probably because it makes better copy for the news reporters to push poverty than affluence. A few years ago, there was so much reporting in New Zealand about poverty and hard times in the UK that worried friends contacted us to see if they could send a food parcel!

suppose all the devastation being caused over there doesn't matter then seeing as you all have so much money to pay for shiny new things. Not being funny, but no picture that I have seen, whether it be on TV or in brochures, makes it look like a wealthy country. Why don't you put the effort in and make the place look more presentable! lol Nah, like with everywhere in the world, there are poor places and well off places. At the moment, most people see the poor places being destroyed and devastated by war and terrorism and think that's what it is like all over.

Because it is poor! Just because a few individuals are wealthy doesn't mean that the great majority of individuals in The Middle East aren't poor. For instance, in Jordan, many children don't go to school because their parents need them to help get money for the family. Look at the great majority of people, not the few wealthy ones!
