"The Washington Post on Tuesday revealed that a Qatari royal, Sheikh Sultan bin Jassim Al Thani, invested $50 million into the hard right cable news channel Newsmax, which eventually led to staff being told by management to “soften” coverage of Qatar.
“We were not allowed to criticize Qatar,” a Newsmax employee told the Post. “We were told very clearly from the top down, no touching this.” The Post spoke to multiple employees “on the condition of anonymity to avoid angering the Newsmax CEO” who said they witnessed staff being told directly to ignore Qatar’s human rights abuses ahead of the 2022 World Cup."
