Aljazeera as a source? So you'd also link to "Der Stürmer" if it went back into publication?
Not quite the same are they.
Not quite, but it's al-jazeera is still not even remotely acceptable as a source.
Mediabiasfactcheck has them as "mixed", so they're about 3.6 Roentgen, as in "not great, not terrible".
They’re an unequivocally biased source. They still have articles up claiming 500 people were killed in the hospital explosion, and “many are disinclined to believe Israel’s claim.” They immediately repeated Hamas propaganda without any verification, and wrote a score of articles ginning up hate.
Al Jazeera used to be somewhat reliable, but it hasn’t been for years. They’re not hiding it either.
I mean, did anyone really expect a quatari media outlet to be actually free and unbiased? That’s like, being dismayed that russian media is parroting kremlin directives.
Generally speaking, sure. In this case however they're utterly useless. As @JasSmith@sh.itjust.works explains below, they're the ones who spread the hoax about an Israeli missile killing 500 people in a hospital in Gaza.
These people have blood on their hands.
