Yeah fair enough. If you want to know shady things about Jared Kushner (edit: or good things about Israel), they’re probably not gonna say a god damned word.
Even aside from potential or actual bias, there’s a pretty wide gap between bias and the incitement that the Israeli government is accusing Al Jazeera of. I don’t have to fully endorse the entirety of Al Jazeera’s coverage to think that shutting them down and criminalizing them is a pretty huge overreach.
For those looking to better understand the biases of any given media outlet, this is a good place to drop a recommendation for Citations Needed podcast with Adam Johnson and Nima Shiraz.
It’s a great media analysis and criticism show. Who watches the watchers? These fuckin guys!
