Edit: There's some major differences between the Arabic Arm (AJA) of Al Jazeera vs the English Arm, however it's rather fuzzy as if AJA is actually as Pro Muslim Brotherhood as they make it seem. It appears that countries int he Middle East ban them because they bring a lot of unwanted attention to the government. The other argument that people have tends to be that AJA is controlled by Qatar.
Israel kicking out AJA seems to be more aligned with the "wanting to hide things", as can be evidenced by their inclination to ~~murder~~ accidentally artillery strike, air strike, or bomb journalists.
lol, you are definitely a funny guy or you are hiding your sarcasm very well.
„Since Al Jazeera's founding in 1996, its Islamist skew grew stronger and damaged Qatar’s political relations with its neighboring states of Saudi Arabia and Egypt.[45] According to Hugh Miles writing for the BBC, "Al-Jazeera network remains the standard bearer for the Islamist position."[43]“

Thank you dumdum for your quick wiki position. Care to entertain us with any other Google searches, you fantastic sleuth?
Al Jazeera has a fantastic track record over decades of newscasting. If the only issue you have with them is shit from almost 2 decades ago, then my argument still stands.
I suspect you made your mind up a long time ago, but for those reading the English version of Al-Jazeera appears to be relatively objective. The Arabic version is another matter.
The wikipedia article on Al-Jazeera has a litany of incidences, some as recent as a few years ago.
Obviously the internet is full of people who are either rabidly pro-Israel or pro-Palestine. Given that the truth is invariably the first casualty of war, it's important to be critical and not fall into cherry picking or cognitive dissonance.
Thanks for providing your own sources that refute his /s
Also, take a look at their Arabic news, it's definitely not the same as the English version.
