Saudi media

I of course have my secret sources in the Saudi media in London.  They are telling me that for the last few months (since the Arab uprisings) the instructions from Saudi Arabia have been more strict and angry.  The instructions to the newspapers here come from the office of Prince Muqrin himself and they are not tolerating any kind of fake "liberal" ambiguities.  All are now expecting to toe the line.  The instructions lately have stressed the need to play up the Syria story and to cover it to the exclusion of all other stories. You can see that in the mouthpieces of Prince Khalid bin Sultan (Al-Hayat), and Prince Salman (Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat).   My sources also noted how only Lebanese Christians are trusted by the House of Saud to run their newspapers.
