Interview with House of Saud advocate

Saudi newspaper, Ukaz, published a really tough interview with the director of King Fahd's brother-in-law's TV station, Al-Arabiyya. It was surprisingly a tough interview and the interviewer shared with him Arab (including Saudi) criticisms and condemnation of the station. I read on it a Saudi sleaze website but could not find the text on the site of Ukaz. And then there was this question to `Abdur-Rahman Ar-Rashid (a former editor of Prince Salman's mouthpiece): "If we tracked your interviews with guests, one notices that your guests are biased in favor of that point of view..There is for example Dahlan, who has a position biased in favor of Israel, and even the Fatah folks have denounced him, and he was ignored and you brought him in the first days of the Israeli attack....Ar-Rashid said that Dahlan appeared only once.
