    FFS Isreal even kicked them out of the country. That’s more than a blind spot.

      Maybe you’re right and Israel kicked them out of the country because they had a blind spot.

      It also could have been that Israel, like many countries before it, kicked them out because they were reporting truths that Israel didn’t want reported.

      You cannot assume the former and use it as an explanation of Al Jazeera’s bias in regard to Israel.

          Every news source is a biased news source. It would be impossible to post any news source here if that were the criterion being discussed.

          The question is whether or not the bias is bad to the point of not being truthful, or wholly truthful. “Israel kicked them out” does not answer that question.

            Truthful defined by you?

            If that concept was true in practice this wouldn’t have been a problem.

              Again- your only reason given to not trust Al Jazeera as a source is that Israel kicked them out, which I already explained was not a good reason.

              Do you have a better one?

              Edit: Ugh. Wrote Al Qaeda.

        In case you missed it. How could al Jazeera be a unbiased news source when it comes to Isreal?
