Really funny watching some defend Al-Jazeera

Ya know Qatar-owned Al-Jazeera

Really you think Al-Jazeera is not under any control from Qatar government to push misleading articles surrounding Israel...I mean really

Qatar established Al Jazeera in 1996 and views it as a way to bolster its global profile - it's funded in part by the government of Qatar....and was purchased to whitewash their human rights violations

Israel is fighting a media war that's why they kicked the media company out

The broadcaster emerged as a rival to international media giants but its the self-described "first independent news channel in the Arab world" also sparked a series of legal disputes in the region in its early years

When a wave of popular uprisings swept the Middle East and North Africa in 2011, Al Jazeera was seen as a key shaper of public opinion because it gave unprecedented airtime to opposition groups, most notably the Muslim Brotherhood.

Al Jazeera faced pressure from governments across the region and became the focus of a feud between Cairo and Doha after the 2013 military ouster of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi.

Cairo considered it a mouthpiece for Morsi's Islamist movement and Egyptian authorities arrested three Al Jazeera journalists

In 2017, Qatar's neighbors, led by Saudi Arabia, imposed a three-year diplomatic and economic blockade on the Gulf monarchy.

As well as demanding Qatar cut ties with the Muslim Brotherhood and its sister organization Hamas, and downgrade relations with Iran, the boycotting states also called for the closure of Al Jazeera and all its affiliates.

Maybe try and understand the hidden agenda many news outlets have before going to bat for said outlet

January, Israel said an Al Jazeera staff journalist and a freelancer killed in an airstrike in Gaza were "terror operatives."

The following month, it accused another journalist with the channel who was wounded in a separate strike of being a "deputy company commander" with Hamas

I'm not saying every journalist for them are linked to terrorists or suspected terrorists I'm just saying if our country suspected such things we'd expect them to take action right?...
