Just watched #KingdomofSecrets by @FareedZakaria on @CNN. A collection of out of context half truths & old, tired stereotypes put into dramatical sequence. Really hoped it would reflect an accurate picture of what is going on in #KSA & dynamics behind it. Really disappointing.

Saudis are tired of the shallow understanding of their society & history that was embodied by this @CNN documentary. Using punchlines & soundbites to gloss over massively complex issues does not reflect an accurate picture at all. Shallow & sensational.

Many logical fallacies in doc, #KSA is an easy target for sensational stories that later get debunked.from the”wife tracking app” to the enquirer saga, to the many false stories over past 3 yrs. Does @CNN tell you that those stories turned out to be false? Don’t hold your breath.

In their jihad against Trump, it would make sense for CNN to go after Saudi, #KingdomOfSecrets latest of CNN hit pieces that deliver a predetermined narrative casting KSA in the worst possible light. The problem is this ends up dehumanizing us & distorting the truth about us.

@FareedZakaria It would have been nice to have more Saudis speak about their own country and history and the current and past transformations instead of listening to you projecting your own feelings towards Saudis as irrefutable facts.
