Texas-based American news company Conservative Review managed to shed light in a report on four prominent "regulars" of the renowned American network CNN, who it found to have strong ties with the Qatari regime.

The report named Ali Soufan, the executive director of the Qatar International Academy for Security Studies (QIASS), who was featured by a documentary attacking Saudi Arabia, published by the CNN last March.

Conservative Review referred to the Wall Street Journal's allegation that Soufan has a "personal relationship" with the Qatari leadership.

The report edited the title of Soufan from a "contributor" to a "regular" after CNN told the Conservative Review via email that he is a guest, according to the report.

It also referred to his stance attacking Saudi Arabia after the murder of Saudi Journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the kingdom's consulate in Turkey.

While Mehdi Hassan, a presenter for Doha-based state-funded Al-Jazeera, is also a CNN regular, who the CNN explained to the Conservative Review that he is a guest.
