Don't worry, I doubt (sensible) people are treating these allegations seriously - pretty sure all media in Saudi Arabia is state media or at least heavily linked to the government, and any 'free thinkers' or as they like to call them, terrorists  are promptly shut down...

They can't even do it convincingly - where in the world do 75% of all prisoners die before trial

"The government operates almost all domestic broadcasting outlets in Saudi Arabia. Censors remove objectionable material deemed offensive by the standards of Islam, including references to pork, Christianity and other religions, alcohol and sex. Private TV stations cannot operate from Saudi soil. Although government officials monitor Internet sites for material deemed ****ographic, politically offensive, or anti-Islamic..."

So basically state media 

I had no idea it was that tight

 

Ok not as bad as North Korea and economically speaking most people live more comfortably than in North Korea...

 

But second worst regime for freedom of speech and lack of democracy I'd say

 

Recently tho they've been making baby steps for more women's rights tho so I don't get this agreesive reaction
