The comedy of Saudi propaganda

There are some propaganda that are too crude for me to link to: like government media or MEMRI.  But this editorial by editor-in-chief of the mouthpiece of Prince Salman and his sons, Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat, is worth mocking.  The author, whose popularity in the Arab world is equal to that Netanyahu, maintains that the protests in the Arab world are only symptoms of Arab "republics."  He implies that all is well in Arab monarchies, presumably because the orders from the royal court is to promote Saudi Arabia as a model democracy.
