(I like AJ's role in Egypt, but not the naivete of these comments. Standing up to one dictator doesn't make you a freedom fighter if you're funded by another)
Why are the comments naive? I don't expect AJ to be critical of Qatar's dictator.
The royal family of Saudi Arabia owns a fair chunk of Fox news. Big companies/wealthy people control much of the news media in the U.S. Likewise for AJ but they appear, at least in some instances, to be better than other news outlets.
It says a lot to me that AJ has been attacked by Rumsfeld, Bush, Mubarak, and others and it's something worth pointing out.
