Al Jazeera is funded by Qatar. How independent do you suppose that makes them? And Qatar wants to gift Trump that jet just to be nice.
The problem with citing Al Jazeera about MIddle East concerns is that the leaders of Hamas live freely in Qatar and it is widely believed to be a major funder of Hamas. That's why I never quote any militant Zionist publications as a source for anything.
"Qatar has been a key financial supporter of the Palestinian militant organization Hamas, transferring more than $1.8 billion to Hamas over the years."
The last quote I posted was by a prominent Australian pol, so not that authoritarian of a country, for the most part. Nor is India, although I guess Modi is trying to head in that direction, maybe:
"In June 2023, India ... Who Lit the Fuse? a documentary produced by Al Jazeera's Point Blank investigation series was banned by the Allahabad High Court in Uttar Pradesh."
