MODERATORS
I agree with the premise, but it's more than a bit of irony that this is coming from Al Jazeera.
Hey could you elaborate please?
A news channel created by the state of Qatar and initially staffed by ex BBC presenters who were paid massive amounts to attempt to astroturf over their human rights abuses and corruption.
Edit: forgot to add, Qatar also imposes censorship on journalism and uses Al Jazeera to push their “truth”. Hence the irony.
Al Jazeera was at the forefront of the Jihadist campaign against Iraq and Syria, consistently referring to ISIS members as revolutionary forces fighting against these two governments, even though almost everyone else recognized them to be terrorists at the time. Although the tone of their narrative has changed over the past six years or so, this does not change what their motives were.
