The Eye of the State: Saudi media
You would think that I am making this stuff up, but I am not. This is a Saudi reporter writing in the mouthpiece of Prince Khalid Bin Sultan (Al-Hayat). He is praising the Saudi royal family and then reports that he was one of a press team that accompanied Prince Sultan to Moscow two years ago. He said that Prince Sultan told the press team that the Saudi media is "the eye of the state."
