Al Jazeera is an awful source. They're owned by Qatar politicians, the same who send money and house Hamas leaders. The same that met with media mongrels during Fifa.
Anything that comes out from Qatar should be taken with a grain of salt.

thank you that's much better
I mean true enough but are you really surprised Israeli settlers are shooting innocent Palestinians? This has been the case for more than 40 years.
I mean, it almost certainly happened.
But if I posted an article from Russia Today about how smoking's bad for you, that wouldn't make Russia Today a reliable source.
Good propaganda mixes truths with lies.
nah, im not surprised. just think should be using better sources
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 🤷
every single news source on the planet is biased. You either want everyone to only read news sources that you approve of or you don't know what you're talking about.
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.
Go back to school to learn how to read things with a critical lens instead of throwing away the most credible middle eastern news source. I'll keep reading the one of the only news sources that opposes the mainstream, pro-israeli narrative.
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://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2014/07/30/how-israel-helped-create-hamas/
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.
Thank you for posting two news articles that have nothing to do with Al Jazeera and conflating anti-genocide with pro-hamas. You are a shining light of unbiased reporting.
How could Al Jazeera possibly report on Palestinian suffering, are they evil?
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.

I guess if it has a wiki page dedicated to controversies it must be an invalid source
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_New_York_Times_controversies
No, you also actually need to read the article.

Read that and then read some of the comments here.
Edit: man, people really don’t like hearing the truth hu?
