Al Jazeera is funded by the Qatari and cannot be considered fully independent. Observers have noted its hesitation in criticising Qatari policy. The US Justice department previously ordered Al Jazeera Affiliate (AJ+) to register as a Foreign Agent. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Al-Jazeera https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/15/business/media/aj-al-jazeera-fara.html
