Al Jazeera: Censorship in China

[NeutralCitizen]

Qatar is trying to be a regional power, thats why it uses Al Jazeera, I use to watch Al Jazeera however it's no different now from much of the western media after the gaddafi libyan campaign.

US believes Al Jazeera is 'propaganda tool of Qatar' - World Politics - World - The Independent

This does not refute any of the facts I mentioned.

Actually no the religious conservatives hate it too here because it a liberal paper calling for liberal Saudi society.

So you are saying it is in the cahoots with the West for a "Western style democracy"?

Yeah because "haidars" like you think everyone like them is in cahoots with someone.

Amazing how people are giving all kinds of excuses to slander Al Jazeera rather than comment on the topic itself.

Don't blame the chinese, its risky. If you were in their shoes, you would think twice before posting something.

Army in India really cares about the people as we can see from their purchases of foreign aircraft designed to put as many poor out of their misery as possible through painless starvation.

In fact that's something that makes me chuckle.

In their hearts, our Chinese friends would be thinking, "God, how I support this article but I can't say anything for I don't know who's gonna show up at my door."

We have to empathise with them.

Real facts, real story , real people ... hard hitting truth.

Al Jazeera an arab country with too many restrictions is commenting on china how low can qatar can get

The thread is not about me, but Al-Jazeera. Stick to the topic at hand. If you don't have any meaningful argument on the subject, it's better you don't post at all. You just contradicted yourself that Al-Jazeera has anti-Western views by saying it favors a Western style liberal society.

P.S. It's "Haider", not Haidar.

So because it is liberal it favors western style democracy?? Russia is liberal is it western?? This world is not run by conspiracy theories like you and most others believe. These thoughts are the prime sign of weak and pathetic people who think the world is conspiring against them. I hate these thoughts.

The thread's not about Al Jazeera either. I see that you have still not given up on your habit of diverting threads by your off topic posts.

...and yes, you should stick to the 'topic' at hand and not to who presents the topic.

Not sure what the big deal is, freedom of information can be misused especially on an ill informed public, Singapore used to have a lot of restriction of information and still does hence we remain low on the Press Freedom List. Freedom of information was slowly opened up as society developed when people had better standards of living and were able to make informed decisions. Looking at where my country is today the people who laughed at our nanny state government are now trying to find jobs here (including trollers on PDF who laugh at us yet earn in our currency).

China society simply isn't mature yet, the restriction prevent the people who have not benefited from China progress in making ill informed decision. The people who have benefited easily find ways around the restriction but are able to make informed decisions from themselves. Some restrictions are excessive but why take the chance?

Ultimately if the masses make a decision based on influence from other governments and results in crackdown by the government PDF trollers will have another field day about oppression and what not.

Looking at this list the champions of information freedom are either very developed nations or countries with enough resources to easily sustain their populations. An immature society should not have unlimited freedom of information, would you let your 10 year old child have complete and unrestricted access to the internet & MTV?

Did I say it's being run by conspiracy theories? Its excessive coverage of the (West backed) Arab Spring & Syria, & the lack of it on Bahrain shows where it stands. But some of their coverage is almost as bad as Press TV of Iran.

When it comes to Israel, the paper is critical of the role of the West & Israel. When it comes to other issues where Arab monarchies are in the cahoots with the West, it does not waste any time spewing out baseless propaganda.

I have yet to find any meaningful argument from you that refutes my points.

The thread is about Al-Jazeera's coverage of China, & it's credibility is also part of the discussion.
