AJ content both online and on the airwaves, is akin to Fox News in the Unites States. Is Fox News not a propaganda arm? Yes, also like RT, who is another outlet I would never confuse for anything credible.

There are plenty of resources for unbiased news in the internet age. This article comes from a trash biased propaganda arm of the Qatari government communications office.

I can tell from this, you either haven't watched All Jazeera or you're so biased against it, that you hate it and won't consider it in a balanced manner. Somewhat ironic, I'd say.

Fox News is made up tripe. Alternative facts with little regard for truth. AJ is well thought out and researched content. Yes, it has its biases, but most news does.

I included both RT and BBC. The latter is very credible, the first is not. The point was about bias, not credibility.

Bias is a fact. There is no unbiased news sites. They are there to get clicks SBD engagement. They all look for an angle and have editorial influence on the slant of articles, titles etc. Every word is written with intention and academic works is the opposite of news content. Boring, and unengaging, but higher quality and generally less biased.

I will say, if you are confident in your knowledge and opinions. Watch conflicting information, and challenge your views. If you are less secure in your knowledge, it's probably better sticking with the stuff that reinforces your conformational bias.

So, in a media website owned by a group with links to the GOP, which pushes to be more conservative (bias, likely to pro Christian, pro Israel and Zionism), they interviewed a Israeli (who has a beef with Hamas) attempting to sue (but not successful yet, so she just feels it until a judge agrees), supported by an Israeli NGO (bias who's goals is to legally challenge entities in support of Israeli policies).

Due to this fact they interviewed Hamas. Does that mean anyone who interview Bibi, whose forces killed countless women and children (terrorism), are a terrorist funding org? As you can see, it's all subjective and what you think is bias only applies for things you disagree with...
