I think it does make sense. When UAE-Israel peace/recognition deal was announced, Al Jazeera journalists were the ones who seemed to be complaining the most on Twitter about it. They have built a good reputation for journalism and I think they are going to exert that influence for their state, just like I have seen lately even SCMP do.
Sure, they do cover lots of parts of the world, and do some really good in-depth reporting but there is a definite bias to their reporting and selectiveness in what they cover, and if it is a state influenced, good to call it out.
- noja 6y agoAl Jazeera is Qatari. UAE and Qatar don't get along well with one another, so why wouldn't they complain about it? If it wasn't for the oil I'd expect the US to be aligned with Qatar.
- actuator 6y agoWhy would US be aligned with Qatar over UAE? I don't find much difference in UAE and Qatar. The whole 2022 FIFA world cup being held in Qatar has been a blot on the sport from possible corruption in bidding to gross worker(human) right violations in construction. > why wouldn't they complain about it? Wouldn't it be nice if journalists try to stay unbiased and do factual reporting and not be a broadcast arm for their state's interests. If they can't, it seems appropriate to brand them as a foreign mission.
