How Al-Arabiyya report the news: a hilarious example

This is hilarious.  This is how Saudi propaganda outlets (the various voices of the princes of House of Saud) "report" the news.  This website of Al-Arabiyya (the news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law) reports that Iran is throwing its full weight behind the regime and that it is helping in repression in Syria.  Whose authority does it rely on??  Well, the story cites an interview with the crude propagandist of Prince Salman and his sons (the editor-in-chief of Yellow Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat) himself. Kid you not.
