They have money to burn and money talks, to such an extent that they can afford to buy their way onto the VM platform to show a news channel that has their own agenda/bias.

Al Jazeera claims editorial independence from the government of Qatar, but many dispute this.
I don't believe that they are gradually increasing their presence on British TV platforms with this channel for the fun of it.
Mistrust and fears of propaganda has led to many American cable customers seeing Current TV disconnected as a result of the channel being bought out by Al Jazeera. |
Richard you seem to have some issues but I'm not sure if it's with the channel, the country of origin or a mixture of both. I can't work out why you try and whip yourself and others in to a frenzy of something which most people think is nothing more than trivial. Thinking about it, it looks like you've got an issue with neither of the above but have an issue with the whole region as now you've had your Saudi reference corrected you've done some digging to try and put down the correct country. If you've got an issue, you should stop beating aroud the bush (and cross posting) and just come out and tell us what it is.
