I’m well aware of that but they did an excellent job of OBJECTIVELY reporting the news. Only rarely was any bias shown and most of that was anti UAE.

Al Jazeera was - is - an excellent news source. Research something and get your facts straight before making statements like that.

Al Jazeera - Wikipedia

Do agree there. :a040:

The Associated Press, the BBC and Al Jazeera are the best at unbiased reporting of the news, IMHO.

My facts are straight ... Al Jazeera is controlled by and a mouthpiece for Qatar and the MB.

There is no way I would completely trust a source that is not from a country I would be comfortable in.

I would be prepared to hear them out, always remembering where they come from.

Watching reports from stations like Al Jazeera News, and RT (Russian TV) gives another prosective on how events are seen from a different viewpoint, and see how much they contradict, or in many cases agree with your own stations perceived idea of events.
I find those stations most informative.

Yes, I agree. Most informative.

Al Jazeera is well known for its Islamist leanings. It makes sense since the Emir of Qatar is footing the bill.

Al Jazeera: The Terrorist Propaganda Network :: The Investigative Project on Terrorism

Sheik Yusef Al-Qaradawi has a program with a huge audience, about twice the size of America’s largest radio host. The Sheik gives advice on the finer point of Sharia law. You should listen to it sometime.

Velvet 10-26-2019 01:37 PM
I can’t wait... I’ve lived all my life without his advice up to now.

TexaninVA 10-26-2019 05:24 PM
The source is factual and well-documented. You can lead a horse to water but can’t make him drink.

Or Facebook, or Google or Apple. Isn’t it wonderful to have that kind of power?
