Why would the leftist, Counterpunch, publish this piece of Saudi propaganda?

Zogby has been an advocate for the sons of Zayid for years now:  "In this area, Bahrain's neighbours have a key role to play. Earlier this year, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members made a commitment of long-term financial assistance to Bahrain. And now they have sent troops into the country, deepening their commitment to their neighbour and fellow member. More must be done. Bahrain needs help. Just as other GCC countries realised that the long-term standoff that shut down a vital part of the country was not sustainable or constructive, so too they must realise that the government's crackdown that ended the standoff will also not solve the country's problems or even contribute to a resolution."  He talks about the Saudi invasion of Bahrain as if it was a peace mission.
