"Rank amateur"

LOL! Yeah, they just hand out Pulitzers to "rank amateurs"!

As for why he writes for al Jazeera, I'd imagine it's because they pay him what he's worth.

en.wikipedia.org

"In the 2000s, the network was praised by the Index on Censorship for circumventing censorship and contributing to the free exchange of information in the Arab world, and by the Webby Awards, who nominated it as one of the five best news web sites, along with BBC News, National Geographic and The Smoking Gun. It was also voted by Brandchannel readers as the fifth most influential global brand behind Apple, Google, Ikea and Starbucks. In 2011, Salon.com said Al Jazeera's coverage of the 2011 Egyptian protests was superior to that of the American news media. Hillary Clinton stated that the US was losing the information war as "Al Jazeera has been the leader in that [they] are literally changing people’s minds and attitudes. And like it or hate it, it is really effective," she said. [11]"

A GREAT news source these days. They still fund investigative reporting.
