Whenever it serves its interests, Saudi Arabia channels funds to media organizations all over the world, from the United Kingdom to Iran and Senegal. The funding usually takes the form of outright donations or thousands of subscriptions.
In 2011, for example, the Saudi embassy in London suggested funding Wesal Farsi TV (now called Tawhid), a London-based, Persian-language TV station owned by a Sunni Iranian citizen opposed to his country’s government. In return for monthly funding and allowing Saudi Arabia to appoint a representative to its board of governors, the TV station would respond to Iranian media criticism of Saudi Arabia.

Yes, I'm kinda obsessed with the way that Saudi Arabia got away with 9/11 and how all our politicians seem to be in their pocket, even Trump, sadly.

The Saudis and other OPEC Sunni nations also fund alot propaganda against American frackers and oil companies.

Matt Damon's "Promise Land" movie for instance.

I'm a little perturbed but would like to thank D & R voters for doing nothing.
