10. Read something about Saad Hariri, Turbo

Following the death of his pro-Saudi/pro-Syrian father, Saad Hariri is the slick, spoiled scion of a new-money family built on Saudi money and patronage; after shooting his wad (and finding out that he shoots blanks) in the home country, he fled to exile and spends his time between Riyadh and Paris these days. Nonetheless, his physical absence from Lebanon doesn't mean that his bank account (or the Saudi princes that he serves) wields no influence there. Television stations, newspapers, and online "news" forums like YaLibnan, Al Mustaqbal (Future), The Daily Star, and other yellow rags are typically jointly owned by Saad and his Saudi patrons.

So, delrem's statement was entirely accurate (sans typo, which is otherwise immaterial in the present context). The fact that you didn't understand it does not warrant your attacks on yet another poster that you seem to follow around.
