The Egyptian uprising produced its own group of journalists: people like Hamdi Qandil, Yusri Fudah, Ibrahim `Isa, `Abdul-Halim Qandil, and many others. Those were people who stood up to the Mubarak regime. `Imad Ad-Din Adib is a reject from the Mubarak regime: he has been a cheap and crude propagandist for Mubarak (and for the House of Saud on the side). So Adib has just been hired to write a column for the mouthpiece of Prince Salman and his sons, Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat--the queen of Saudi yellow journalism.
