MODERATORS
This is a relatively brief well-written article, and reading it has helped me process the carnage and shameful behaviour seen over the last few months
I found the article to be poorly written and with a heavy bias. The article is right (mostly,) but it feels like an attempt to make the situation worse.
I always take Aljazeera with a side of skepticism
I find Al Jazeera to be one of the best news outlet... For everything NOT related to arab and Muslim politics.
For the rest, they do some pretty objective reporting and cover a lot of international issues that don't get covered anywhere else.
Also keep in mind that it's written "opinion" twice on top of the article.
It's easy to miss the "opinion" text because it's not in the title or the content, you need to look at the top and when I'm clicking on an article I'm not interested in anything other than the article. The word opinion needs to be in the first paragraph or in the blurb, a screen reader worth it's money is going to skip parts of the page that are not the article. Even Town Media "articles" make sure to put opinion in the blur or first paragraph.
I do look to Al Jazeera whenever there is a major event, I compare it's reporting against BBC and CNN. But Al Jazeera has a bias, just like CNN, just like the BBC, just like CBC, etc.
Agreed. I found it poorly written and very biased. How many times did they say "we told you?"
Keep in mind the biased nature of the source. It's literally run by the same government housing the terrorist leadership that caused this mess.
