Saudi media and Tunisia

Jonathan from Cairo sent me this (I cite with his permission): "Al Arabiya was playing the same game as Radio Sawa this afternoon, airing a long sequence of lengthy interviews with Tunis shopkeepers whose property had been damaged by 'hooligans' and so on. I know they're not my shops but at the back of my mind I couldn't help thinking it was a small price for freedom and who knows but that maybe it was Ben Ali thugs who did it."
