For high-brow journalism, look no further than media of Saudi princes

"Pictures of the new uniforms worn by special forces of Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah emerged on social media this week, with some saying the elite squad now resemble “ninjas.” In the pictures, the forces are dressed head-to-toe in black, the only flash of color being a red band on their right shoulder, giving them - according to some social media users - the appearance of Japanese feudal-era covert agents."  They always do that in Saudi and Hariri media; they refer to "social media users" or the "internet" as entities whenever they want to attribute their marching orders and talking to point to others.
