  • Agreed. For some reason, I don’t like their US coverage. It’s not biased per se, but like you mentioned it often doesn’t click (not American, but I lived in North America for a decade).

    It’s as if they can’t figure out whether they want to report as outsiders looking in or as if they are reporting from within the US. Better to stick to one framing. I actually prefer an “outsider looking in” perspective as some of the US-based internal-focused reporting is not for me.

    As weird as it sounds, I do like NYT for US coverage (from the US) and I tend to avoid their coverage on Europe.


  • While I generally agree with the points raised in the article, I have to say there is a certain level of irony seeing this particular text in Al Jazeera (with them being funded by Qatar).

    I do like their coverage of Africa, it seems informative and relatively balanced (perhaps I just don’t know any better English language sources).

    I lean towards agreeing with their coverage of India, but the Qatari connection makes me cautious.

    They are pretty bad on Ukraine. Giving coverage to faux-opposition russian imperialists and having a somewhat cavalier attitude that they do not demonstrate for example with Gaza.

    That being said, for all their faults they can do good work, just got to remember their Qatari connection.
