Not getting on a soap box or anything. Just saying this administration is not a representative of Americans.

    Just FYI al Jazeera and al mayadeen are qatari funded. They are not without their biases and qatar has been hit by Iranian ordnance.

    Still much better than like cnn though.

      I thought it was implied in my comment that I was saying that it’s biased in more or less the other direction, but I realize I should’ve written that out.

        It’s more complicated than “the other direction”. They are Arabic sources so they are at least not parroting hasbara propaganda. But they are funded by Qatar, a US vassal state actively participating in the war on Iran.

        As with any news outlet, one should analyze the perspective from which they are reporting. They are not going to be great on Iran at the moment but still not to be discarded.
