US - RSF concerned by calls for Al Jazeera to register as “foreign agent”

NewsRSF urges the Department of Justice to dismiss calls made by members of the United States Congress to investigate Qatar-based news outlet Al Jazeera for registration under the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA). It is not the responsibility of a government to vet the editorial decisions of a media outlet, and this type of governmental interference could lead to censorship.​​​
