    al jazeera is a wholy qatari owned propoganda mouthpiece for ismalic jihadis

    … what?

    Al Jazeera is Qatari, and so I don’t go to them for content about Qatar in case there’s a bias. However it’s a pretty large organization and they do decent investigative work on stuff happening in South America, Africa, & Asia. New organizations pick topics they think the readers want to see, and so in Canada (and likely the US) there’s often little to no coverage on stuff in these parts of the world. Al Jazeera puts out decent investigative pieces and documentaries about these places.

    TLDR: Al Jazeera isn’t unbiased, and I avoid them on certain topics. However I DO go to them for other stuff.

    This article specifically sounds like a bad thing:

      While that is true, silencing journalists sets a very bad precedent

        I'd want Der Sturmer and the KKK weekly to be deplatformed too, it is not journalism, it's racist propaganda, Al Jazeera is a Qatari owned mouthpiece for Islamic Jihadis

      If that’s such a problem, why’d they wait until this particular piece to deplatform and even then only the presenter’s profile?
