The lies of the media of Saudi princes

I don't care what the propagandists of Saudi princes in Washington, DC and New York City who work in Saudi claim in English.  The media of Saudi princes are worse than yellow journalism of Hirst.  They habitually lie and fabricate and don't even bother to correct the record. One propagandist of a Saudi prince or two, Husayn Shubakji, claimed in the mouthpiece of Prince Salman, Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat, that a Saudi woman "told him" that she was held by Hizbullah in a dungeon in the basement of Lebanese airport. Everyone in Lebanon instantly knew that this was a fabrication--typical of that paper. New TV got a pass to tour throughout the Lebanese airport yesterday, and Youmna Fawwaz went everywhere and opened all doors and mocked the report. What embarrassed the lousy rag of Prince Salman is that the Minister of Interior (a Hariri minister with loyalty to Muhammad Bin Nayif), wrote to the paper refuting the story.  I expect Anne Barnard or Liz Sly or both (they seem to write in tandem) to parrot the lie any day now.
