Separatists, extremists, rebels and exiles in some countries, and so on.
Al Jazeera's programming is known for its aggressive and outspoken views. Since its founding in 1996, Al Jazeera has recruited talent from other media outlets around the world. For example: the famous BBC reporter Frost (who is the only journalist in the world to have interviewed seven American presidents and six British prime ministers), the ace host Marash who has worked for 16 years in the United States ABC, and the former senior executive of the BBC Parsons.
With the help of these talents, Al Jazeera's programming often breaks through the taboos of previous Islamic media, such as"

", "secularization", "democratization" and other sensitive topics. 1998 Peninsula first class

On April 1, 2024, the Knesset passed a law allowing the government to temporarily shut down foreign television channels operating in Israel on the grounds that they "endanger national security."

Al Jazeera responded
Israel's "seditious defamation" remarks will not prevent it from continuing to report, and the media reserves the right to take all legal measures.

It's not that journalists are incompetent, it's that the Taliban are too good.
Journalists have never been afraid of danger after the Taliban announced that they would not allow any journalists to enter the country, but the press control is the "soft spot" of the industry. Fortunately, journalism textbooks also have a business philosophy: "If you are kicked out of the front door, you have to climb in through the window."

Ridley
But soon, there was the "Ridley incident." Ridley, 43, is a reporter for the London Sunday Express, where, as the newspaper's chief female reporter, she wrote a series of brilliant war stories during the wars in Northern Ireland and the Middle East. On September 28, 10 days before the British and American strikes in Afghanistan, Ridley tried to cross the border posing as a local woman, but was "captured before her time," according to one account, her blond hair and blue eyes were not concealed by a veil. Another theory is that she is not good at riding a donkey, and while crossing the border, the press machine accidentally fell from her body and was arrested - it seems that the profession of journalists also needs to train to "ride a donkey". The incident quickly alarmed the British Foreign Office, Prime Minister Tony Blair, while trying to rescue, Britain and the United States still planned to deploy troops, and while Ridley was still in custody, dropped 50 bombs

Journalists have also struggled to gain access to coalition-controlled areas in northern Afghanistan. One reporter said they were charged a $20 crossing fee by border guards, but waited a week without making the trip. At the time of the trip, the 30-kilometer drive from the Tajik border to a border town in Afghanistan cost $300! The 30 km journey costs 2,400 RMB! Even so, there are still fewer cars and more people.
Al Jazeera has defeated a number of media giants in this battle, which is relatively rare in history.
Some have likened Al Jazeera to CNN in the Gulf War, but CNN has signed a contract with Al Jazeera to buy several hours of footage of Al Jazeera every day at a record price of 20,000 dollars per minute.
Al-jazeera's bearded correspondent in Kabul, Al-Aromi, quickly became a household name in the Arab world. Shortly after the Anglo-American bombing of Afghanistan, Aromi received a phone call telling him that behind his office door, there was a package. He opened it and found it was a tray

There has been a flurry of reaction in the United States around the tape. First, CNN quickly bought out the exclusive rights to distribute the tape, but they paid for it in vain. Every network in the United States copied the program and played it over and over again. then
The White House
Called an unprecedented meeting of the five biggest TV companies and asked them not to broadcast bin Ladin's speeches uncensored, so as not to spread a code word for terrorists; There is also a section of public opinion accusing the US security services: a journalist can get the information of bin Ladin, what are you eating? therewith

Also put pressure on Qatar, warning Al Jazeera not to become bin Laden's propaganda arm... And the resulting backlash against the United States

The debate of "freedom of speech" is even more heated.
Aromi would not stop, and he also called the Taliban headquarters to ask for an exclusive interview with bin Laden. He failed, but he provided the most live and detailed coverage of the whole situation on the ground, in the places where people around the world cared the most. People remember the man who was born

He is a resident journalist in Afghanistan with a Spanish passport.
In fact, for this day, Al Jazeera set up a branch in Kabul two years ago.

message
It shows that Hanfar was closely connected with the US intelligence agencies, and had modified sensitive content because of the US protest, or thus angered the Qatari government and became one of the reasons for its resignation.
Khanfar, who has been head of Al Jazeera since 2003, reportedly sent a two-page farewell email to his staff on September 20, 2011, emphasizing his relationship with Al Jazeera
Chairman of the board
The intention to resign has been discussed for some time. According to employees, Hanfar was "emotional" when he announced his departure, and one reporter described the incident as tantamount to an "earthquake" at the TV station, which shocked everyone.
In his resignation statement, Mr. Khanfar said he had achieved his goal of making Al Jazeera an international outlet.
Khanfar himself vehemently denied that he had backed down and "watered down" the coverage of the US in the wake of US pressure on Al Jazeera

In terms of behavior.
"Our staff were jailed and our offices were bombed by US forces. Our reporter was detained by Arab authorities. We never change our editorial policy, which is the most important quality. If Al Jazeera can change its editorial approach, our audience will turn away from the media."
He's also on his social networking site
Twitter
"I laugh at all these rumors about why I resigned," the post read.
According to reports, Al Jazeera is owned by the government of Qatar, and the Qatari royal family is the financing of the TV station. The station has been the most high-profile satellite TV channel in the Middle East, often with

Al Jazeera provided round-the-clock coverage during the protests, but the exposure of Mr. Khanfar's ties to the United States government has raised questions about the reputation of Al Jazeera, which has long been critical of American policy.
It is reported that the replacement of Khanfar is the former president of Qatar Gas Company, a member of the royal family Ahmed.
Banned by many Middle Eastern countries
In May 2017, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and other countries announced that they would block Qatari media from May 24, including Al Jazeera, a well-known media organization in the Arab world.
The incident began when Qatar News Agency quoted the head of state, the Emir of Qatar, as saying at a military ceremony that Iran was "an Islamic power that cannot be ignored" and that it was "unwise to be hostile to Iran."

September 17, 2020, according to the media

In a letter, the department asked Al Jazeera to register as a foreign agent. The Justice Department alleges that the news platform acted as an agent of Qatar in the United States to influence U.S. domestic and foreign policy and its leadership.
