>""A senior executive with Qatar’s TV network Al Jazeera was closely involved with setting up the London news website Middle East Eye, some of whose staff have links to organisations sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood." So you eliminate as sources any company that might have some staff "sympathetic" to the Muslim Brotherhood? That probably extends much further than you think. >BOOOOM! You didn't say anything revelatory or even exciting.

  >some staff "sympathetic" to the Muslim Brotherhood I think you're accidentally overstating the strength of their case, probably just the clause-level equivalent of a typo. They actually said: > some of whose staff have links to organisations sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood. So, just to be clear, they're excluding anything with (interpreting the vague language generously) <=3 degrees of separation from the Muslim Brotherhood (organisation -> staff member -> an organisation -> Muslim Brotherhood) as a reliable source. Totally unscientific, but to put this in a kind of very loose and silly context, Facebook claims that its users are on average connected to every other user by 3.57 degrees of separation. I suspect that the figure for this kind of connection is actually, relatively, much higher, but I sincerely doubt it's all that much higher than 4 (i.e. enough to make this sort of connection relevant) - especially when you think that these aren't even friendship relationships, but something so much weaker! edit: the link to Facebook's claim - https://research.fb.com/three-and-a-half-degrees-of-separation/ https://research.fb.com/three-and-a-half-degrees-of-separati... and some typos and omissions of my own
