| Cerebralbore101 said: Al Jazeera is rated mixed for accurate reporting. Qatar only has around 300,000 citizens with a population over 2 million. It's also a strict monarchy or some other non-democratic government. I considered it but ultimately can't think of them as a reliable source. |
Hah that site still says CNN and BBC are mostly factual. What's the bias check on mediabiasfactcheck ;) Both have been exposed in recent years. It even says NYT is High despite deliberately running disinformation articles, exposed last year and refusing to issue corrections.

Plus that site seems to focus on the left/right nonsense. Which is biased in itself. At least it rates FOX as Low, still too high lol.
It really depends on what they're reporting on how reliable the information is, hence always double check, cross reference. When it comes to the ME, Aljazeera is far more trustworthy than any Western outlets. But, yes, Aljazeera has bias as well when it comes to Qatar.
The Guardian cites over 1,500 dead in Iran.

US has been dropping 2,000 pound bombs on Iran, which have a kill radius of 350 meters and can structurally damage buildings in a 850 meter radius. There are many civilian casualties no doubt. Those are the bombs Biden halted the shipments of to Israel as they were generating too much news in Gaza, too many deaths at once reaching through to the mainstream media.

Don't just look at one source, look at many.
