Their history speaks for itself.

They were originally a branch office of the BBC who decided to go independent when they were closed due to embarrassing the Saudi government. The embarrassment had to do with a documentary about Sharia law executions in that country. The BBC backed down, but the reporters didn't.

I don't care what country's government you are from, would you like to make it easy for reporters like that to get into your country? ;-)
