Wow, accusing the victim. I'm sure they're in business when they have something beyond other free alternatives or else they won't exist.

  Arguments between people are best kept off Twitter, period. Once they get on Twitter not only are both sides forced to become defensive but the Twitter mob / cult of popular uninformed opinion gets involved and rocks start getting thrown. Adults should know better. If Al Jazeera did not respond to private inquiry THEN perhaps it would be justified to use a public medium (as that would be the only medium available) but that did not happen.

    The initial article says they contacted AJ over multiple channels but got no resolving replies and then went public.

    Al Jazeera didn't respond to private inquiry. They kept brushing them off, promising to return calls and not actually returning the call.

      Over what period of time? It seems like many of these Twitter shamings happen after someone doesn't respond within 48 hours or some silly arbitrary small timeline and then said company likes to rush to Twitter to try and get the mob to sort it out for them.

        About 15 days. They started contact on August 28th. It's not that long in the business world, I'd personally wait about 90 days before making a public stink about anything except something that'd terminate my company before then.
