Al Jazeera (Opinion)
Qatari state-funded, left-of-center internationally
Al Jazeera is a Qatari state-funded media network whose ultimate ownership rests with Qatar's ruling family. Its Opinion section publishes commentary that tends toward left-of-center and anti-Western-establishment viewpoints, with consistent criticism of Israeli and U.S. policy. Its coverage of the second Trump administration has been broadly critical, focusing on press freedom restrictions, falling approval ratings, and foreign policy controversies.
