Is Saudi Arabia pays a lot of attention to them and from what I have seen they do good reporting on Saudi Arabia. The Gulf nations pay a lot of money for favorable coverage or more likely omission in American media as well as around the globe.

I could understand Sputnik but from what little I have seen from Iranian news there is good reporting out of there though I wouldn't post any in LBN and would have to use a translator for most of it anyways.
