Everyone in the comments just assume al jazera is right even tough we have well documented cases when they spread claims who are totally wrong with no journalism due process See: https://honestreporting.com/damage-done-how-al-jazeeras-fake-news-harmed-israels-reputation-in-less-than-24-hours/#:~:text=That%20was%20the%20case%20this,trying%20to%20silently%20bury%20it https://honestreporting.com/damage-done-how-al-jazeeras-fake...

They're a modern news site so I agree with you that fake or sloppy news is a problem, however this example is that they interviewed someone who made an inflammatory claim, and then the next day removed the claims when it came out that they were false. That hardly seems that bad for our modern news landscape. And then you have a meme of some AJ reporters saying "Terrorists in press dresses." captioned "You can't put lipstick on a pig, you can't put a press vest on a terrorist." That's pretty inflammatory and biased too!

Its truthfulness is also rated as Mixed elsewhere, so yeah, it's not like they shut down the Quatari Reuters. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/al-jazeera/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/al-jazeera/
