If I recall Egypt partially did that after the military coup, and some Gulf countries. None of which are known for being kind to criticism. So this point is more validating of Aljazeera's position as relatively honest journalism in the a region full of dictatorships and corrupt governments.

I wouldn't say it's validating, just not necessarily invalidating.

Regardless, a news organizing funded by a monarchy not exactly known for its human and civilian rights mostly like has an agenda beyond "honest journalism".

Their journalist were trained at BBC. It is funny that BBC exactly fits your definition :-)

BTW both have very high standards and make excellent journalism.

I'd like to see examples of bad Al Jazeera journalism instead of just attacks to Qatar monarchy.
