The allegations that Al Jazeera is MB channel is absurd! I watch al Jazeera everyday for years and I never got the impression that it was pro-MB. I was even surprised to watch al Jazeera almost completely silent about the latest crackdown on leading MB figures in Egypt, which clearly rebut any pro MB stance. Saying that Arab reformists are battling the culture of hate allegedly spread by al Jazeera is also news to me. Al Jazeera has been the only avenue for reformists and the oppressed across the Arab world to express their views which they would not be allowed do anywhere else in light of tight media control by most Middle East governments. One more thing, Yousef Al Qaradawy is not MB leading figure and has nothing to do with the organization. This is not the first time he has been thought to be linked to the MB, but they both repeatedly denied any links.
