Qatar (/ˈkæˌtɑr/,[7] Listeni/ˈkɑːtɑr/, /ˈkɑːtər/ or Listeni/kəˈtɑr/;[8] Arabic: قطر Qaṭar [ˈqɑtˤɑr]; local vernacular pronunciation: [ɡɪtˤɑr]),[9][10] officially the State of Qatar (Arabic: دولة قطر Dawlat Qaṭar), is a sovereign country located in Southwest Asia, occupying the small Qatar Peninsula on the northeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Its sole land border is with Saudi Arabia to the south, with the rest of its territory surrounded by the Persian Gulf. A strait in the Persian Gulf separates Qatar from the nearby island of Bahrain, as well as sharing sea borders with the United Arab Emirates and Iran.
Following Ottoman rule, Qatar became a British protectorate in the early 20th century until gaining independence in 1971. Qatar has been ruled by the Al Thani family since the mid-19th century. Qatar is a hereditary constitutional monarchy and its head of state is Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.[11] The constitution was overwhelmingly approved in a constitutional referendum, with almost 98% in favour.[12][13] In 2013, Qatar's total population was 1.8 million: 278,000 Qatari citizens and 1.5 million expatriates.[14] After Saudi Arabia and Oman, Qatar is the most conservative society in the Gulf Cooperation Council.[15][16]
Qatar is a high income economy backed by the world's third largest natural gas reserves and oil reserves.[17] The country has the highest per capita income in the world. Qatar is classified by the UN as a country of very high human development and is the most advanced Arab state for human development.[18] Qatar is an influential player in the Arab world, supporting several rebel groups during the Arab Spring both financially and through its globally expanding media group, Al Jazeera Media Network.[19][20][21] Qatar will host the 2022 FIFA World Cup, becoming the first Arab country to do so.[22] For its size, Qatar wields disproportionate influence in the world, and has been identified as a middle power.[23][24]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Spring
The Arab Spring (Arabic: الربيع العربي, ar-rabīˁ al-ˁarabī) was a revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests (both non-violent and violent), riots, and civil wars in the Arab world that began on 18 December 2010 in Tunisia with the Tunisian Revolution, and spread throughout the countries of the Arab League and its surroundings. While the wave of initial revolutions and protests faded by mid-2012, some started to refer to the succeeding and still ongoing large-scale discourse conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa as the Arab Winter. The most radical discourse from Arab Spring into the still ongoing civil wars took place in Syria as early as the second half of 2011.

[edit]
The term "Arab Spring" is an allusion to the Revolutions of 1848, which is sometimes referred to as the "Springtime of Nations", and the Prague Spring in 1968. In the aftermath of the Iraq War it was used by various commentators and bloggers who anticipated a major Arab movement towards democratization.[37] The first specific use of the term Arab Spring as used to denote these events may have started with the American political journal Foreign Policy.[38] Marc Lynch, referring to his article in Foreign Policy,[39] writes "Arab Spring—a term I may have unintentionally coined in a January 6, 2011 article".[40] Joseph Massad on Al Jazeera said the term was "part of a US strategy of controlling [the movement's] aims and goals" and directing it towards western-style liberal democracy.[38] Due to the electoral success of Islamist parties following the protests in many Arab countries, the events have also come to be known as "Islamist Spring" or "Islamist Winter".[41][42]

prove it was a lie
I watched it one time, and they were doing a special on the Israeli attack of an American ship back in the 60s.
So clearly they were anti-Israeli and anti-semitic. Which isn't a surprise considering this network was the spokesmouth for UBL, and the other terrorists.
Fuck them, glad they are off the air.

They are still on the Internet and still doing great journalism.

Why is it not surprising that JPPs leftists gravitate toward a news agency that is clearly anti american and anti semitic?
Is anyone really surprised?
JPP liberals probably think it makes them sound enlightened and multicultural saying they listen to muslime news
