Interview with Prince Salman

I have mentioned before that the Kuwaiti press, since 1990 when all the Palestinian editors and journalists who made the Kuwaiti press relatively exemplary in the 1960s and 1970s, has become one of the worst examples of press in the region.  It is the most yellow of yellow journalism.  The other day, the editor of As-Siyasah (one of the worst examples of the lousy Kuwaiti press), Ahmad Jarallah, published what he said was an interview with Prince Salman.  The following day, Prince Salman denied giving any interview and Jarallah (who survived an assassination attempt on his life after he endorsed Sadat's visit to Israel and later served as chief propagandist for Sadam in the 1980s) had to apologize.  Suddenly, the interviewed disappeared from all links and As-Siyasah website went down yesterday.
