TFW a politician you don’t like says something you agree with.
Yeah, that’s not going to happen.
He said something similar 7-8 months ago, I feel its more just talks than something that would actually happen.

I predict that the “mixed” will be based on, at most, like 1-2 arguably-false-in-retrospect stories from at least five years ago and an overall claim like “well they say bad things about Israel and that just makes us pretty suspicious, you get it, right?”. Not anything along the lines of that they are ever careless with the truth.

Edit: Nailed it. They don’t even try to pretend there’s any factual issue with the reporting.
In review, Al Jazeera reports news with minimally loaded wording in their headlines and articles such as this: UN approves team to monitor ceasefire in Yemen’s port city, and Erdogan delays Syria operation, welcomes US troop withdrawal. Both of these articles are properly sourced from credible news agencies. When reporting USA news, there is minimal bias in reporting such as this: Pentagon chief Mattis quits, cites policy differences with Trump. In general, straight news reporting has a minimal bias; however, as a state-funded news agency, Al Jazeera is typically not critical of Qatar.
Al Jazeera also has an opinion page that exhibits significant bias against Israel. In this article, the author uses highly negative emotional words as evidenced by this quote: “Europe is increasingly sharing Israel’s racist approach to border security and adopting its deadly technologies.” This article, however, is properly sourced from credible media outlets. Another article, “How many more ways can Israel sentence Palestinians to death?” also uses loaded language that is negative toward Israel. Further, the opinion page does not favor US President Donald Trump through this article: ‘Barbed wire-plus‘: Borders know no love. In general, opinion pieces are routinely biased against Israel and right-wing ideologies.
In 2017, Al Jazeera aired an investigative report of Britain’s Israel lobby. Following the airing, Ofcom (the UK government-approved regulatory and competition authority) received complaints from many pro-Israeli British activists, including one former Israeli embassy employee. They were accused of anti-Semitism, bias, unfair editing, and infringement of privacy, which was later cleared by Ofcom, who said the piece was not anti-semitic and was, in fact, investigative journalism. Later, a US version of the documentary called “Lobby” was not aired due to pressure from US Legislators pushing for Al Jazeera to register as a foreign entity and therefore labeling its journalists as ‘spies.’ Further, Saudi Arabia and three other Arab nations demanded Qatar to shut down Al-Jazeera. Al Jazeera rebuts the accusations here.
I wonder if the New York Times is “mixed” on its factual reporting based on one story I could find, maybe a little more recent one than 2017.
They don’t even try to pretend there’s any factual issue with the reporting.
Well duh MBFC is biased as fuck.

Try to find any negative coverage about Qatar on AJ.
The last coverage of any description I saw on any outlet about Qatar was during the Trump administration.
Actually, I don’t think it’s fully true that they don’t do negative coverage of Qatar - this story definitely isn’t, like, a positive story. But I’m sure they have some level of slant to their Qatar coverage; my wider point was that, all things considered, they’re actually among the extreme top level of honest and evenhanded journalistic outlets and whatever blind spots they have are dwarfed by the blind spots that exist in a lot of Western sources, that MBFC I am sure rates highly because the blind spots line up with where MBFC likes them to be.
