what's wrong with al jazeera?

• LtWorf 3y ago
  They don't blindly repost Israeli propaganda.
• burnerburnson 3y ago
  They are state-owned media for an authoritarian government that is hostile to Israel. They are incentivized to make Israel look bad.

    Al-Jazeera has some incredibly great reporting for the past couple of decades across many conflicts. The fact that Israel doesn't like their reporting doesn't necessarily make their reporting less factual.

  They are considered incredibly biased against Israel, certainly by Israelis. (Israelis consider a lot of media slightly biased against them, but Al Jazeera is in a completely different league.)

  They are mostly (or fully, based on their banner) funded by Qatar, which is kinda allied with Hamas. For stuff unrelated to Qatar, they are pretty unbiased. But that changes when their owners actually have an interest in the matter.

  they're openly biased, but by far the best mainstream news Outlet in the region

  Scroll through a few dozen of their headlines at https://www.aljazeera.com/tag/israel-palestine-conflict/ https://www.aljazeera.com/tag/israel-palestine-conflict/ and you will quickly discover a glaring pro-Palestinian bias that is almost comical if you are proposing they do objective, disinterested reporting. I gave up after about 20 pages to find anything indicating otherwise.
