Don't forget. The english version of aljazeera is a more western oriented venture that started in 2003/2006. But it's still a propaganda machine of Qatar, even though the anti-western sentiment was reduced by their success in English: > The new English language venture faced considerable regulatory and commercial hurdles in the North America market for its perceived sympathy with extremist causes.[92][93][94] At the same time, others felt Al Jazeera's competitive advantage lay in programming in the Arabic language. There were hundreds of millions of potential viewers among the non-Arabic language speaking Muslims in Europe and Asia, however, and many others who might be interested in seeing news from the Middle East read by local voices. If the venture panned out, it would extend the influence of Al Jazeera, and tiny Qatar, beyond even what had been achieved in the station's first decade. In an interesting twist of fate, the BBC World Service was preparing to launch its own Arabic language station in 2007. Today, evidence of U.S. antipathy at the Arabic network has dissipated significantly, though not entirely, several American analysts said in 2013.[95] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera

Oh zero argument there. Reading it without correcting for bias is the same as reading RT, South China Morning Post, Guardian or WaPo. I will admit I did not know about adjusting sentiment in English. I am not surprised, but that is new to me.

All newspapers are pushing their parent state's propaganda. It is reductive to point out that Al Jazeera is the sockpuppet of Qatar. The real question is "whose propaganda and manufactured lies do you want to believe?" There is no mainstream media that isn't pushing some kind of narrative in the Internet age. Just pointing this out, not saying you are wrong. Thanks for clarifying where Al-Jazeera stands.

  " All newspapers are pushing their parent state's propaganda. [...] The real question is "whose propaganda and manufactured lies do you want to believe?" There is no mainstream media that isn't pushing some kind of narrative in the Internet age." All three sentences are wrong. "All"-statements generally need really strong proofs and I doubt it you can provide it.

  > All newspapers are pushing their parent state's propaganda. Well not really no, state newspapers absolutely aren't equal in independence. And that also extends to private newspapers as well, their editorial structure and independance isn't equal.
