Egyptian Ahram newspaper criticizes the Saudi Arabiya TV and everything on the Internet

An article published on the Egyptian newspaper al-Ahram yesterday “The dark side of the internet” [Egyptian government mouthpiece] criticizes nearly everything on the Internet which reflects the Egyptian government irritation with the demonstration campaigns organized by Egyptian-activists on social-networking websites [Ahram do not allow direct link to articles, here is the cache text],  

The Youtube disaster:

…There are funny objective clips criticize world leaders such as Tony Blair, George Bush and others…..If you go to the Arabic version, you get sick from the revealing clips put on the site by Arabs and Egyptians about exaggerated events, footage of countless insults on politicians, officials and public figures.

To my surprise, the “unknown” writer criticizes Saudi financed satellite TV channel al-Arabiya, for allowing its reader to write uncensored comments.

… famous Arab channel on the Internet leave its readers to write comments on the news reports, many of these comments containing inappropriate language of insults against certain figures or racist comments among the reader themselves, unfortunately, mostly contain insults on Egypt and its people forcing Egyptians on the website to respond likewise.
