For all the obvious propaganda on Al Jazeera, they’ve been surprisingly “fair” in their reporting, both in their choice of guest speakers (although they might cut some mid sentence), and in the footage they release, that for a keen observer sometimes contradicts the propaganda.
It’s one of the best “complementary sources” of information about the conflict right now.
Compare it with RT, which is so state controlled, that it has to use exaggeration “ad absurdum” to convey even a hint of dissent (an interesting exercise for the observer to spot out, but quickly tiring).
They’ve murdered aljazeera journalists and other journalistic organizations on multiple occasions. Including directly assassinating Shireen Abu akleh, bombing the family of the Gaza chief correspondent, and bombing the AP headquarters in a previous conflict.
“They take revenge on us in our children?” he said, kneeling over his son’s bloodied body, still wearing his protective press vest from that day’s work.
Every journalist covering the conflict within Gaza and Lebanon is risking their own lives and that of their family members so we can know what’s going on. In my opinion, they’re not getting the respect they deserve from the international community.
Israel and all their fash supporters lost my respect long ago.
I had a tiny bit of hope that Biden would somehow turn around the US after finally withdrawing from Afghanistan, but I see now that the US, including Biden, is still the bloodthirsty war criminals they’ve always been.

I’ve not had that issue, but I’m on Jerboa app.
I’m on Jerboa too and tapping the article’s picture opens the website instead of expanding the thumbnail. Not ideal UX.
I thought that was normal? The thumbnail shown is just a link to the website unless you directly upload the photo
Didn’t they straight up missile strike one of their one time?
