That's a bold assertion - do you have any evidence to support this? I find that they do plenty of great journalism, often bringing stories that don't make it into the english-language media via other outlets. For example, just from today an article on the fight for Iraqi waterway restoration: https://www.aljazeera.com/features/longform/2024/5/4/dont-be...

In general, the Features page (https://www.aljazeera.com/features/) doesn't exactly smack of Islamic propaganda - so curious to see how you came to this conclusion.

Well, Al Jazeera English is separate and a bit better than regular Al Jazeera. But look at their stories and the morals they try to show in there. It’s always garnering more support for Islamic causes. They infiltrated several Israeli and Jewish groups, and are funded by the Qatari government.

These governments are not okay. State sponsored tv from countries like Iran, Qatar, Russia are not okay. Not even when they report accurately, because of the bias in what and how they report.

Not saying western media like Fox News is any better, but yeah.

And that they ‘appear’ okay is precisely the biggest problem. If they are so fair; how many reports are pro Israe, or condemn Hamas’s actions? Is it zero? ;)
