I was reading this report yesterday and encountered this reference:
"According to accounts in the Arab press, a "foreign relations official of the African branch of the Lebanese Hezbollah party and two of his aides" were among those killed. (52) I said: let me look up the endnote and it was: "52. Hamid Ghiryafi, 'Hizbullah Officials Carrying Donations Reportedly Killed in Lebanese Plane Crash,' al-Siyasah (Kuwait )". Of course, for the Western reader who does not know details it seems rather credible. But here is what you don't know: the man in question (Hamid Ghiryafi) has the credibility of a writer in National Inquirer--a bit less, in fact. And As-Siyasah of Kuwait: is one newspaper that no one self-respecting Arab journalists would dare cite due to its long history of being a most yellow journalistic rag. No exaggeration. So here is how stories about enemies of Israel are peddled: stories in Zionist publications are peddled in Arab oil media, and stories in Arab oil media are peddled in Zionist Western media. They both cite one another.
