Just goes to show you, Arab states allied with the U.S. will hardly have any protest coverage; however, states against the U.S., for example Libya and Syria, are overtly criticized and sometimes military action is taken and covered quite a lot in Western news. I had no clue, either.

That'll be the day that the U.S. tells the Saudis what to do; they'd simply say something along the lines of, "No, or else you pay more per gallon, Mr. Ambassador."
