OK yeah but every major "news" channel is like this.
For example, the NYTimes regularly publishes disinformation and pro-genocide propaganda.
Claims that AJ is exceptionally bad are often motivated by imperialism, islamophobia, zionism, etc.
Well, until now almost all articles I read in AJ are well contrastable, less biased as much other western media.
I don’t think I ever said they were particularly bad… just stating facts here. The opinion that “every major news channel is like this” however is troubling. All news channels have their influences, you just have to identify what they are and adjust critical thinking accordingly.
That's literally "whataboutism".
Ignoring real censorship in the UK because the originating nation of the news source also has censorship... is whataboutism.
Not at all. I agree with the premise as I said so there was no whataboutism in there. I merely pointed out that a news source from a nation that allows nothing even vaguely approaching what the UK has, to be ironic.
