"Saudi Arabia is funding a digital news platform that will feature some U.S.-based media professionals as it begins a new lobbying effort aimed at the White House and Congress.
The platform will have a studio in Washington, D.C.
The developments come almost three years after the killing of Washington Post journalist and Saudi royal family critic Jamal Khashoggi.

2. The Saudis will never be able to wash the blood stains from their hands or garments. This

4. Have the US media personalities negotiated "no murder" clauses in their contract?

Who the hell would go to work for management infamous for killing those in their profession?

3. We should have bombed Riyadh, instead of Baghdad.

Saudis hijackers...9/11...you know.
