Al Jazeera is literally banned by Egypt, Sudan, Jordan, India and even the Palestinian authority. Al Jazeera has zero credibility, especially after one of their reporters was holding a 10/7 hostage in their house.

this is a fair viewpoint if you are consistent. do you see us news companies as reliable news sources?

i think us news companies each have their own biases but since they’re not government sponsored it’s not necessarily in the interest of the US gov’t. i think all state sponsored newspapers align with their governments

us news companies are profit driven so they more often cater to a specific audience and try to increase engagement through outrage

There’s a huge difference between being profit-driven and being quite literally the mouthpiece of a government

… it doesn’t necessarily it just makes it a different source/direction of bias. us newspapers can have many different biases and levels of biases besides pro-gov

but #4 is also right because we have free press they’re free to say whatever they want, they’re not the mouthpiece of an administration
