Palestinian Bilal Saleh was shot in the chest by an Israeli settler as he was harvesting his olive trees in al-Sawiya, occupied West Bank.

    Al Jazeera are a rather quality news source, up there with some of the best for sure.

    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.

          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.

      You didn’t even read my comment.

      Literally said that in the second sentence of two sentences.

            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?

                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.
