Answer 1

Sorry, without more proof than your personal observations, I don't believe you. In fact, I find your assertion absolutely preposterous.

Answer 2

Unless I read it wrong AlJazeera was started by a grant in 1996 to a emir in Qutar who is now subsidizing it on a year-by-year basis. In 2004 the competing Arabic-language satellite TV station Al Hurra was launched, funded by the U.S. government.


The channel began broadcasting in late 1996. In April of that year, BBC World Service's Arabic language TV station, faced with censorship demands by the Saudi Arabian government, had shut down after two years of operation. Many former BBC World Service staff members joined Al Jazeera
Al Jazeera claims to be the only politically independent television station in the Middle East. It now rivals the BBC in worldwide audiences with an estimated 50 million viewers. Al Jazeera was started with a US$150 million grant from the emir of Qatar. It aimed to become self-sufficient through advertising by 2001, but when this failed to occur, the emir agreed to continue subsidizing it on a year-by-year basis (US$30 million in 2004,[1] according to Arnaud de Borchgrave).

Al Jazeera English is the world’s first global English language news channel to be headquartered in the Middle East. From this unique position, Al Jazeera English is destined to be the English-language channel of reference for Middle Eastern events, balancing the current typical information flow by reporting from the developing world back to the West and from the southern to the northern hemisphere. The channel gives voice to untold stories, promotes debate, and challenges established perceptions.

With broadcasting centers in Doha, Kuala Lumpur, London and Washington DC and supporting bureaux world-wide, the channel will set the news agenda, bridging cultures and providing a unique grassroots perspective from underreported regions around the world to a potential global audience of over one billion English speakers.

Answer 5

I don't believe it. I thought it was owned by some Arabs who used to work for the BBC and by a prince from the UAE. Maybe you have UAE confused with USA? 2 letters are the same.

Answer 6

I think you're confusing Al Jazeera with Alhurra, which was started by the US government to counter what it considered biased reporting by Al Jazeera.
