In Egypt, during the fall of Mohammed Morsi, al-Jazeera adamantly supported the protesters against the regime. As the government of Morsi fell in a year and less than a week, violence ensued across the urban population.
In fact, many individuals were unhappy that the military stepped in and removed their elected leader. And while some of them were even employed by alJazeera, none of them were allowed a share in the reported news in Egypt and across the world.

In fact, many individuals were unhappy that the military stepped in and removed their elected leader. And while some of them were even employed by alJazeera, none of them were allowed a share in the reported news in Egypt and across the world.
Al Jazeera correspondent Haggag Salama resigned, stating alJazeera is: “airing lies and misleading viewers”
Al Jazeera anchor Karem Mahmoud resigned as well, stating: “I felt that there were errors in the way the coverage was done, especially that now in Egypt we are going through a critical phase that requires a lot of auditing in terms of what gets broadcasted,”
However, senior journalists confess that preceding Morsi's rise to power alJazeera was a dedicated network to the Muslim Brotherhood. AlJazeera became a propaganda channel for the Muslim Brotherhood on their ascension to power over Egypt. And now that they are unpopular, alJazeera became a propaganda channel for the fall of the Muslim Brotherhood.
In Egypt today, without Morsi & his cabinet, prominent members of the Muslim Brotherhood remain locked up and under house arrest as the military reforms the Egyptian political climate. Including the Muslim Brotherhood's leader, Mohammed Badie.
This can only lead us to ask the question : When else is al Jazeera a propaganda source and not a news network? Or in the worst case (but most likely) scenario, has it ALWAYS been a propaganda tool?
Like when they post pictures of dead Syrian children, without the family's consent, and say "this is Gaza" to sell newspapers?
