>not backed up with any evidence I note

Evidence for Qatar being an Emirate? For the Emir financing AJ? These aren't disputed, AFAIK.

>You realise that Al Jazeera - not twitter or facebook - was a big driver of the recent political events

Definitely.

>caused a lot of resentment, anger amongst the current encumbents in these countries

True. So? Anything there that goes against Qatar's interests?

>They have more local staff in more foreign bureaus than any other network

And they do a lot of quality interviews that aren't rating driven. Because if you have a very rich monarch financing you, you can afford all that. That's my point. How was their coverage of the WikiLeaks docs regarding Qatar?

>Edit: Ah - judging from your blog you're from Israel.

Damn, cover blown! I guess this makes me a Mossad agent, or at best a mouthpiece for the Israeli government. Thanks for doubling my blog's readership though :)
