Al Jazeera are a rather quality news source, up there with some of the best for sure.
And they’re no more biased towards their owner’s interests than any other source.

You didn’t read the their mediabiascheck profile then. They’re decently reputable when it’s something that’s unrelated to Qatar, but once as something is Qatar, all their quality goes out the window.
That’s far from what you said in your first comment. Also, just because the source has a bias doesn’t mean that everything it says is a lie. In particular, this article includes video of Palestinian farmers being chased out of their fields by settlers.
So use an unbiased source that’s reporting on it and encourage neutrality with media consumption.
I don’t think that the extraterrestrials are sharing news with humans.
And if they WERE reporting on us, every other article would start with a paragraph explaining how stupid we are as a species in spite of having so many excellent individuals amongst us 🤷
Apes together dumb.
Absolutely.

Both Russia Today and Reuters are biased. Only someone who’s being disingenious or an idiot, would claim that means they’re equally biased or that it’s somehow close.
Same thing for Al-Jazeera. Posting an Al-Jazeera link and/or defending their journalistic integrity, undermines any argument you then proceed to make.

Al-Jazeera isn’t anti-Israel. It’s pro-Islamist/Hamas. Even the Palestinian authority in the West Bank has complained about it:

Oh, and before you continue to make excuses for Hamas and pro-Hamas media like Al-Jazeera:

https://theintercept.com/2018/02/19/hamas-israel-palestine-conflict/
Hamas is arguably an Israeli creation, something Al-Jazeera won’t mention. Netenyahu and others helped them grow strong, so they could divide the Palestinian cause, and had an excuse not to negotiate.
So for years Al-Jazeera was effectively helping Israel’s far right. People who aren’t entirely unhappy with the Hamas attacks, as it gave them an excuse to start a full blown war and probable annexation.
It’s ok. You wouldn’t be the first to fall into that trap. It happened to plenty of people after Iraq, where they grew critical of western media, but then uncritically fell for Russia Today’s narrative.

You didn’t even read my comment.
Literally said that in the second sentence of two sentences.
hey now you edited your comment, don’t play that game
I’m pretty sure I didn’t?
You didn’t. Your post was edited, 4 hours ago. Their response was 2 hours ago, so they should have seen that edit before they posted. They might be on mobile and only see the “edited” indicator, not the “how long ago” note?
wouldn’t surprise me if it was instance buggery
So their edit was made on kbim but not picked up by sh.itjust.works until after you made your comment? Maybe. I dunno. Lemmy is a bit of a black box to me sometimes.
No.

No, you also actually need to read the article.
