When news first emerged on 23 February that Al Jazeera was establishing a platform called “Rightly” to target US conservative audiences, it landed like a bombshell. Journalists and staffers of the Doha-based satellite network were quick to express their disagreement via social media.
Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, a senior reporter for AJ+, expressed his misgivings over the move via Twitter: “What happened to giving voice to the voiceless? Or does Al Jazeera feel … these conservatives are somehow voiceless? What an exploitative misguided move. This is not innovation. This is not progressive. This is politics and exploitation.”

All the research indicates yes,” he said. A year earlier, Shihabi suggested that there were as many as 50 million Americans seeking what Al Jazeera America had to offer.
