Hafiz Mirazi puts Al-Arabiyyah TV on notice

Saudi media have been pathetic in their propaganda on behalf of Mubarak.  They have been vilified by Egyptians for their fabrication and distortion of news: they even distorted a message by Wael Ghonem to help Mubarak.  So the host of "Studio Misr" Hafiz Mirazi (the former bureau chief of Aljazeera in Washington, DC), says on the air that he will devote tomorrow's show to Saudi policies towards Egypt and that if he won't be allowed, he will quit the station.  Watch. (thanks Ashraf and Nada and Jihad)

You have to watch this: here, Mirazi asks (bravely) whether Saudi media dare to criticize the Saudi king.  Wow.
