Saudi media have been lying excessively in the last few weeks. It has been reported how the Saudi government summoned all editors of all Saudi media and requested, presumably, that more lying be employed. It is becoming comical: as if a satirical poem or play. Al-Arabiyyah yesterday kept reporting that Turkey has strongly criticized the Libyan opposition when the Turkish foreign minister was in fact far more critical of Saudi military intervention and of the Bahraini opposition.
