Negative stories about Egypt in Saudi media

One notices a trend: a quiet war is going on between Egypt and Saudi Arabia, although the Military Council does not want it to get out of hand, and tries to contain it.  But Egyptian media relish stories that are damaging to House of Saud, and Saudi propaganda outlets are regularly printing stories that are very negative about Egypt after the overthrow of Mubarak.  I mean, there is this ridiculous story in Al-Arabiyyah (the news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law) which maintains that Egyptian media AFTER THE FALL OF MUBARAK are lacking professional standards.   I kid you not.
