Twitter Thread: The Sectarianism of Al-Jazeera Arabic


Amidst an intense debate about Al-Jazeera news TV station, many western media editorial defending the channel, claiming it is a voice for free speech, and ignoring the channel’s sectarian agenda. Hayder al Khoei, an Iraqi -focused MiddlE East watcher has compiled an interesting examples of the sectarian tone of Al-Jazeera Arabic anchors. There are many more examples of Al-Jazeera ugly language of hate, but those tweets are enough for non-Arabic audience to understand why many in the Middle East currently oppose this media outlet.
