I think you are driving that from a lot of assumptions instead of experience of interaction. Which is fine. We all have those. Interacting with them as a news source over the years, their coverage is very wide and very fact driven. And there’s a lot of coverage that other outlets usually shy away from that they don’t.
You should know that even in polls taken amongst journalists Al jazeera scores very high on credibility.
I’m not sure but I believe Al Jazeera now scores higher than the Washington Post (obvious reasons) and The New York Times, two examples of once reputable news outlets that have been falling out of grace. But AP News is probably still holding their credibility along with NPR and PBS, both falling apart from budget cuts this year, all of them on the American side.
Al Jazeera’s opinion side though, will be a big discussion to be had like with any other outlets that exist.
But then again, they’re just one of the various I mentioned in the previous commentary in alphabetical order because I don’t really have a favourite as a choice amongst those.
I also read “Publico” and “Expresso” and find them both reliable. And RTP, which is a public funded news station. But all these are outlets from Portugal in Portuguese only. I assume a lot us Europeans here will have a lot of reputable National News outlets we count on, especially public funded ones, that don’t really register outside of our national borders. That is why I only shared my go to international ones and not the national ones in the previous comment.
Although, EU side, Euronews still holds up nicely despite the scandals and the envolvement of the Hungarian state friendly acquisitions, which was a Portuguese asshole that brokered that deal nonetheless.
They haven’t become a shitshow. But it’s more about what they shy away from, than how they changed their coverage.
