Oh, those poor innocents!



Arab News has this story. (via Instapundit)

The Western journalists typically enter the Kingdom under cover of pretending that they want to learn more about what goes on here, for the benefit of international relations and intercultural harmony.

However, once they arrive they immediately shed their flimsy masks.

High on having got in, they set about doing what they really came here to do: launch psychological assaults on the local Saudi population.

Their weapons are crude, but intellectually devastating: questions of the utmost stupidity.

They invariably leave their Saudi victims with a feeling of having been insidiously violated, and doubly distressed at their later realization that they were such willing victims.

After the initial assault, the victims are betrayed again.

Their polite but persistently objective and sensible answers are wildly distorted � indeed, not unusually completely reversed � in subsequent reports filed by the Western journalists for subtle propaganda purposes abroad.

Jeez, guy, welcome to the world.

This really is hilarious. I guess it means they won't be implementing a free press in Arabia any time soon.
