         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Media in Saudi Arabia is considered to be few to none the media is very enclosed it is very hard for the outside world to understand or know anything that happens in KSA. even reporters whom work in the news stations in Saudi censor their work from the world the only way for the outside world to know what might be happening in Saudi is if some person posts it on the internet. in which the source is unreliable and may not be adequate to broadcast. Finally erasing the content as soon as it is found making it disappear and punishing the culprit whom posted it.Easy to say that the government of Saudi Arabia is very strict about its media giving the ruling family full authority over all media aspects related to news of the country and what happens in its borders .when a ruler has this much control over the media of the country it is safe to say that he has something to hide whether it is a religious act of execution or bodily defilement or even something as silly as personal integrity and the preservation of its society , by controlling the media they control the entrance of outside media .of course these are but some accusations that the world has stated none of the above acts has been proven yet .that indeed what makes other countries that don’t understand the Islamic culture uncomfortable when dealing with Saudi Arabia and scared or threatened by its existence. As they say people are always afraid of what they don’t understand or can’t control .&nbsp;</div>]]></description>
