Arab Intellectuals: Al-Jazeera Ignores Iranian Protests, Promotes Gov’t Narrative
MEMRI, Septmeber 29, 2022:
After the death of 22-year-old Iranian woman Mahsa “Zhina” Amini, on September 16, 2022, after Iran’s morality police beat her because she was not wearing a head covering correctly, Iranian protestors took to the streets throughout the country. Footage showing thousands of protestors clashing with security forces have quickly made it to social media platforms under multiple hashtags. As the protests expanded and gained momentum, Arab intellectuals on social media expressed their disappointment in coverage of the protest by the Qatar-based and funded TV channel Al-Jazeera, which they accused of ignoring the protests, abandoning the protesters, and focusing on promoting the Iranian government’s official narrative.
On September 20, Abd Al-Hadi Al-Shihri, a Saudi Twitter user with over 26,000 followers, tweeted under the hashtags “Iran rebelling” and “Mehsa Amini” saying: “Where is the Al-Jazeera channel on the protests that are taking place in Iran against the mullahs? Al-Jazeera and its anchors cover everything whether significant or not that take place in the Arab countries.
On September 21, Nawwaf Al-Sulaiman, the programs manager at Safa TV tweeted: “I reviewed Al-Jazeera Breaking news account for an entire day and I did not find a single news item about the protests in Iran. What if these protests were in an Arabic country? Al-Jazeera would have published multiple breaking news [bulletins], relying on ‘close and familiar sources’ and ‘exclusive reports.'”
Analyzing Al-Jazeera’s editorial policy regarding Iran, Syrian opposition writer Dr. Mahmoud Al-Shami, who has over 11,000 Twitter followers, commented on Al-Jazeera’s breaking news headline quoting the Iranian president, saying: “The unprecedented oppressive sanctions against Iran are imposed on the Iranian people who yearn for freedom.” Al-Shami wrote: “Al-Jazeera reports on everything regarding Iran except the protests and the crackdown by the mullahs’ regime in Iran. This is not fair. You used to be described as the number one Arabic channel and you used to be highly credible but now your credibility has been lowered.”
