Media of Saudi princes: the case of Tariq Humayyid

Tariq Humayyid is one of the most loyal and crude of propagandists of Saudi princes. He has been working for the media of King Salman and his sons for years. A week before the Saudi attack on Yemen, he wrote in the mouthpiece of Prince Salman, Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat, (which he used to edit), that any military intervention is Yemen is misguided and futile.  Once the war started, he wrote that the war is the most wise and right decision ever in human history. But it seems that his early statement got him in trouble. His columns stopped appearing.
