Aljazeera.com - no the satellite channel is a London-based Middle East news website owned by Aljazeera Publishing. It bears no relation to the better-known Qatar-based satellite channel, Al Jazeera (as it states on its "about us" page). However, it has frequently been mistaken for it; relatively prominent cases include Instapundit (July 30, 2003) and Oxfam (Cool Planet links[1]). Aljazeera.com's editorial policy is stridently Islamist and anti-Western, in contrast to Aljazeera TV. It describes itself as follows:

Aljazeera Publishing is an independent media organisation established for more than 12 years delivering news and analysis to readers all over the world. Aljazeera.com has a particular focus on events and issues in the Middle East covering major developments presenting facts as they happen.

Aljazeera.com claims to present the facts. However, articles are mostly op-ed with many describing the Holocaust as a "myth". While the site allows comments these are subject to approval and possible editing.

Its site is registered to Island Publishing, London. It also has a print edition.

The contact address currently given on its 'about' page, and in its domain whois, is: [2]
