The news came hours after Axios reported that Secretary Antony Blinken told U.S. Jewish leaders he asked Qatar to “turn down the volume on Al Jazeera’s coverage” of the Israeli genocidal campaign in the Gaza Strip, accusing the network of being “anti-Israel.”

Well this will certainly make them more enamored of Israel. Some smart psychology there.

Extremely disappointing statement from Blinken, we shouldn't be interfering with foreign news networks accurately reporting on atrocities.

How do you know that their reporting is accurate?

Exactly, Al Jazeera is owned by the Qatari royal family, guess where the heads of Hammas have been hiding? Qatar. So there's no question Al Jazeera is a propaganda outlet at all.

However, still doesn't excuse blowing up media representatives, even propagandists.

reverse psychology only works on toddlers, when it comes to second guessing things. "you don't actually like those carrots, do you?! and those PEAS. BLECK!"

even on toddlers... you're lucky if it's 50/50 that it works. You really should just learn to not over cook the vedgies
