This is how US officials are interviewed in Saudi media by Hariri journalists. The Hariri journalists are Randa Taqiyy Ad-Din and Walid Shuqayr, and the newspaper, is Prince Khalid Bin Sultan's mouthpiece, Al-Hayat. The interview is with the former US ambassador in Lebanon:
Question: "There are information that points out that your contacts [during the Israeli war on Lebanon] prevented the destruction of the airport, Middle East Airlines, and the government house?". But seriously, I just don't understand why Hariri and Saudi journalists don't just recite the questions that Larry King used to ask when he would interview Frank Sinatra: why do we love you Frank? Why are you so popular Frank? Why do women like you so much Frank? What is it about you that makes you special, Frank? etc
