The propaganda of Ben Hubbard for the Saudi regime

Look at this article.  For an objective source on the new Crown Prince, he goes to a fellow at the King Faisal Center.  And three of the experts cited belong to think tanks funded (partly at least) by Saudi or UAE government (or is it two out of three?).  Also, he says that Muhammad bin Nayif was "respected" by Saudis. He and his father were the two most hated Saudis by far.  Notice that Hubbard have a policy: to never talk to Saudi dissidents or opposition figures.  Also, do you know that Hubbard's articles get translated and covered in Saudi regime media?
