Seems extremely threatening, arguing that "Turkey could easily join forces" with adversaries of Qatar if they don't stop Al Jazeera critique and "weed out" journalists...accuses journalists of reproducing "terrorist talking points"; never saw an editorial like this before.
Al Jazeera Arabic is a hopeless case, but Al Jazeera English is among the most professional media outlets in the region. A Turkish media outlet close to Erdogan threatens to join the bloackade against Qatar if @AJEnglish doesnβt stop covering Turkey negatively.https://twitter.com/sfrantzman/status/1191267451671068672β¦

Seems kind of silly given Qatar would retain ultimate control of AJ. If they're allies, or strategically aligned, why not raise this diplomatically?

Wow..... Interesting....

I've relied on AJ English for years now. I miss their American tv news network immensely.

We get attacked constantly. Personally this year alone the Pakistani army, the Iraqi government and friends of Hamas have talked to me about my reporting. I suggest you get in line Turkey.
