Just one anon's analysis.
→ Sometimes the [DS MSM] sews a bit of truth into their stories. ←
But,

They do it thinking they're:
-
Playing To Their Audience (Sympathetic Gullible Readers).
-
Persuading Their Audience to Think Like They Do.
→ They count on their audience believing "the old narrative" hook, line & sinker; ie [C_A][MI6] et al = (Good Guys).

MBS's crackdown: What prompted the recent arrest of Saudi royals?
Who are MBS's rivals?
While Prince Ahmed is seen by some as the legitimate heir to the throne, Mohammed bin Nayef is another strong contender, regarded as a committed ally of the US, a respected figure in the "war on terror" and former interior minister and crown prince.

"Nayef had good relations in the British and American intelligence services. He was a rival power … where there aren't many power structures beyond MBS," said Carl.
"For the US and UK, Nayef was considered a good successor to the throne … [seeing] that Saudi policies were congenial to the US and UK on the whole [during his time as crown prince]," he added.
According to Ali al-Ahmad, a Saudi scholar and expert on Saudi political affairs, Mohammed bin Nayef is not only a strong contender for the throne, but he also has connections inside and outside the kingdom.
"There may have been a plot by Nayef to get rid of MBS. Nayef is the most experienced security individual [in the kingdom] with strong allies and a patronage network," said Al-Ahmad.
"He also has external support from former CIA officials … who are working with him and his aide to plot against MBS."
Yayha Assiri, a Saudi dissident and former member of the Royal Saudi Air Force, told Al Jazeera that disapproval of MBS is not only in Saudi Arabia but is also growing overseas.
"Many forces both inside and outside the country don't want MBS," said Assiri.
"Whether they are members of the US administration or EU officials, everyone is worried that MBS [as king] would create more instability in the region. He comes across as rash and dangerous due to his role in the war in Yemen, the blockade on Qatar and the assassination of Khashoggi.
"These actions make allies wanting to find a replacement for him," he added.
