I have never seen their content, just read anti/pro statements about them. I believe in the past they very overtly spewed hatred. Maybe now they do it more subtly. But past footage has been used as evidence of hate speech. I think they have toned down. This channel is partly owned/funded by the ruler of Qatar. Qatar is one of the friendliest Arab country to the United States. It has also pissed off some of the Arab countries by establishing ties with Israel. That might explain them toning down.

Can't say I have ever listened to al_jazeera though I have looked at
some of their print content when it came up on a google search. Are
they in the habit of ranting on about Zionists or something? I feel
like I am missing something. What I have seen of theirs, while
slanted, did not amount to hate speech by any stretch of the
imagination.
