Less than mediocre Journalist

Tariq al-Hameed is the editor -in-chief of Asharq alawsat, London-based Saudi newspaper owned by one Saudi Emir (Salman bin abdul-Aziz),  which is very often quoted by western and Israeli media as representative of Arab public sphere. He wrote an article today , giving very 'precious' advices for the Syrian president regarding the protests in his country. According to him, the only way to deal with this political earthquake in the region is "to take real reformist measures', obviously he was pointing out the measures announced in the Saudi 'King's speech' , which had been praised by Al-Hameed as a model of wisdom and far-sightedness. Every article written by this less than mediocre journalist can be used as an example of contradiction, inconsistency and 'commitment' to serve the master. I also noticed that the article's title in Arabic is not always the same in English, and the Arabic version is much less 'courteous' than the English one. Today's article was titled in Arabic: Syria: the prayer by ID card !, while the title in the English version was ' Syria : the opportunity to reform'.
سوريا والصلاة بالهوية
