That’s like saying science is anti-conservative

You'd expect them to be factually accurate though.

Updating the article to provide more correct information as soon as it's uncovered is part of that

Well, you can check it yourself. Go to Arabic Al Jazeera and use machine translation and compare it to the English version. Then compare the article to the same topic on the BBC and Times of Israel. Compare and contrast.

Al Jazeera is Qatari state media. There’s no press freedom in that authoritarian kingdom.

Yeah well you can check it yourself as well. I don’t know how any of your mental gymnastics relate to the dumb shit you said originally.

Why does ‘state media with no press freedom in an authoritarian kingdom’ only seem scary when it’s al jazeera’s and not BBC’s or Times of Israel’s?
