House of Saud's journalists

I like the performance of Saudi journalists during press conferences of Saudi princes.  They basically ask these tough questions:  o your excellency the prince: why is Iran posing such a danger to our interests? Why is Iran threatening us? thank you.

PS I have to say this.  Bedouin traditions are less hierarchical than norms of Westernized societies.  Thus, Lebanese journalists are far more obsequious than Saudi journalists in the presence of Saudi princes.  Hell, Lebanese journalists ask their questions with their foreheads touching the royal shoes.
