Last week, Townhall exposed how Qatar is spending billions of dollars to indoctrinate students at Western colleges and universities while also funding Islamic terrorism across the globe.
In addition to fomenting anti-Western, pro-Hamas sentiment on college campuses and funding terrorism, Qatar also wages an information war in the media and online. By using outlets like Al Jazeera and The New York Times, as well as Facebook parent company Meta, Qatar seeks to manipulate algorithms and influence our political process.
Qatar and Journalism
Qatar started Al Jazeera, the Muslim world's biggest outlet, in 1996 with a $150 million grant from the Qatari Emir. Based in Doha, Al Jazeera has ties to Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

Qatar is also providing funding to The New York Times and Tucker Carlson, according to FARA documents.
Qatar and Social Media
Al Jazeera + (AJ+) uses fake social media accounts to amplify anti-Western sentiment and anti-US voices. It specifically pushes anti-US voices that seek to harm the relationship between the US and Israel. Al Jazeera describes AJ+ as a "social justice lens on a world struggling for change" and says it is "the trailblazing brainchild of the young-and-restless creative minds of Al Jazeera’s Incubation and Innovation Unit, who earlier than most saw the emerging opportunity to reach a millennial audience with a video news product delivered via social media platforms."

Thanks for posting. Anti-Western? Islam is Anti-ALL CIVILIZATION. It’s the largest and most EVIL collective in the history of humanity. The jihad continues without interruption. Who or what can stop it?
Al Jazeera and CBS co-own the BeIn studio brand. Al Jazeera hosts soccer’s top clubs.
Behold the power of fossil fuels.

I have read the attached FARA document at least three times now.
They list the Principals who received payment from Qatar as:
Adswerve $177.53
META $60K
Clear Channel Outdoor(billboard company) $170K
Google $59K
NY Times $168K
Dow Jones $109K
NJI Media LTD $72K
Here is the link to the document listed in the Townhall article:
https://efile.fara.gov/docs/7304-Supplemental-Statement-20240329-1.pdf
Yet, I have failed to find Tucker S. M. Carlson or TCN(Tucker Carlson Network) or his former partner Neil Patel in this document listed as a recipient of funds from International Media Office of the State of Qatar.
SO, CAN ANY OF THE PEOPLE ON THIS SITE SHOW ME DOCUMENTED PROOF THAT TCN or Tucker CARLSON is receiving money from Qatar?
I have read a lot of people bashing Tucker now for the last year or so. That he is a shill for Qatar, etc. even in this article, Townhall makes that claim. However, the FARA document they linked does NOT have TCN or Tucker Carlson on it.
see my post #8
There is no publicly available documentation or evidence confirming direct payments from Qatar (or on its behalf) to Tucker Carlson personally or to his primary media entity, the Tucker Carlson Network (TCN). However, multiple U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filings under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) reveal that Qatar has indirectly influenced Carlson's content through paid third-party lobbying and consulting firms. These firms, contracted by the Qatari Embassy, facilitated high-profile interviews and media outreach, including one with Qatar's Prime Minister on Carlson's platform. Carlson and TCN have categorically denied receiving any foreign funding, labeling such claims "false and defamatory."Critics, including pro-Israel activists and journalists, argue this setup constitutes indirect "payola" by funding access and boosting viewership (and thus revenue) for TCN, though no financial trail links payments to Carlson himself.
Context: Qatar's overall U.S. spending exceeds $225M since 2017 on lobbying, think tanks, and media to improve its image amid accusations of funding Hamas (~$1.8B since 2012) and hosting its leaders. The Carlson interview aligned with this, framing Qatar as anti-war on Iran while avoiding tough questions on terrorism.
But I thought it was the Russians?
