US asks Qatar to 'turn down the volume' of Al Jazeera news coverage

  “The network broadcast footage of al-Dahdouh breaking down in grief as he peered at the body of his son in the hospital morgue. His wife, daughter and grandson were also killed in Tuesday’s strike, along with 21 other people.”

  al-Dahdouh is Al Jazeera’s chief correspondent in their Gaza office.

  And the USA is asking them to not show the horror of being bombed? Because it’s “inflaming public opinion”?!?

  I can’t believe that was requested with a straight face, surely?

    Guess which government called Al-Jazeera Islamist propaganda less than 10 years ago?

  Al Jazeera aren't Qatari shills, Al Jazeera are Qatari.

  Al Jazeera was founded by Sheikh Hamad ibn Khalifa Al Thani, emir of Qatar, in 1996 and is wholly owned by the State of Qatar. Qatar funds Hamas and Hezbollah to kill Jews, and all the news from Al Jazeera is meant to convince the world that Jews have no place in the Middle East, and no claim to Israel. It was the singluar reason the Emir of Qatar founded Al Jazeera in the first place.

  It's a single purpose propaganda organization.

  None of this matters to the Jew baiters in the Fediverse though.

  I block anyone posting Al Jazeera anything, you might well as title your post "Yalla, rape, kill, and burn all the Jews". Fuck Al Jazeera, and fuck anyone that posts from it, knowing they target Jews for murder.

    So what? Aren’t we allowed to read from different sources from different sides and make up our own minds? This Arab=automatically bad rhetoric is stupid and gets older every minute.

    👻 - al jazeera

    In all seriousness, i dont know why people expect an arabic first news org to not espouse arab first news. It would be like going to the Vatican for news coverage about attacks on Catholic areas.

      Al-Jazeera isn't just biased in favour of Arabs or Palestinians. If that was the case, Fatah (and other governments in the middle-east) wouldn't have repeatedly accused them of bias.

  The media that’s had the most influence on me was a Qatari funded Al Jazeera YouTube video, “Inside the Jenin battalion”.

  It did not have the effect on me they were looking for.
