Media reports and Western politicians have warned of the impact of the influence of the Qatari media, which is weaving suspicious alliances against his opponents and whitening his face, especially after the crisis of American businessman Eliot Broidi.
Many foreign reports spoke of the lawsuit filed by Buraidi, a businessman and fundraiser for US President Donald Trump's campaign, against Qatar, accusing it of hacking, breaking and publishing his e-mails for defamation. He later discovered that the writers of these reports in the Western newspapers had links to agents working for Qatar.
Burwaidi's story dates back to January 2018, when hackers hacked his email, his wife's mail and his personal assistant.
Over the following months, these hackers had access to thousands of documents and confidential communications registered on his company's server and in e-mail accounts.
US researcher Ariel Davidson prepared a report on the Federalist website that explained the Buraidi case highlights how far the media can go to attack a US citizen.
Over the past two decades, Berwidi has been among those who have warned of the threats of political Islam, and while supporting allies in the Middle East to confront the Brotherhood, Qatar has been engaged in an intensive public relations campaign to clear Doha of terrorism charges.
She explained that during the campaign Al-Hamdain financed media and research centers, as well as employing a large entourage of lobbyists for millions of dollars a month, but Berwaidi was trying to prevent those Qatari efforts to win over Washington.
Davidson argued that although Berwidi is not known to many outside the political circles, his story is a warning about the media's vulnerability to foreign agents, after in 2017 he became Qatar's most outspoken critic of its support for Hamas and the terrorist Brotherhood.
The media's dealings with Burwaidi, whether they stem from a desire to protect Qatar or defame Trump, are deeply disturbing. They have shown increasing acceptance among reporters to use hacked documents and then hide the sources of their stories.
She pointed out that what Buraidi said presented a dangerous picture about the penetration of a foreign government to an American citizen, in an attempt to silence him by distorting his reputation.
"The reporter appears to have a long-term relationship with people who have committed serious crimes, and eagerly aids their campaign against the former Republican donor, especially because they are based on stolen e-mails," she said.
The researcher explained that it is common for research centers to communicate with donors about policies and visions consistent with them, and pay them money to do so, and the centers are free to reject those funds if the views of the donor seems to conflict with the mission or priorities of the organization.
But what is not common - according to the researcher - is the transfer of documents penetrating a weapon and the strategic laundering of this information through the press, noting that the plight of Buraidi highlights the risks of media bias, which makes them vulnerable to foreign influence.
Buraidi accused Qatar of hacking, breaking and disseminating his emails in order to discredit him.
