I like Al Jazeera a lot, but it pretty clearly has it's own slant for many topics. I even like Sky News, despite the obvious right leaning which doesn't match my personal politics...because for example, their military analysts that report on Ukraine seem knowledgeable and insightful.
Basically saying I'm fine with the non-neutral reporting, provided it's obvious enough for me to compensate mentally with. And more importantly, that there's high quality content despite any slant.
- tracker1 3y agoHave to agree to that second point... I'm perfectly fine with bias, as long as it's obvious, clear and the reporting is relatively complete and accurate, even if I don't agree with the conclusions or opinion in the end.
- isubasinghe 3y agoAl Jazeera (international) itself doesn't have any incentive to be biased, bias may obviously occur via journalist's opinions etc that creep in. But as I understand, Al Jazeera is run as an means to show Qatar's importance/relevance.
