Nobody is saying JPost is lying about this. They’re saying that the conclusion they reach (that Hamas and Al-Jazeera lied and Al-Jazeera is a Qatari mouthpiece) is disingenuous as fuck.
It’s not in dispute. Al Jazeera is literally the state media of Qatar. Their reporting speaks for itself. They follow none of the usual rules of ethical journalism. The hallmarks of their reporting is anonymous and dateless reports taken and published as fact, no disclaimers when reports are unverified, citations to itself, failing to seek and report comment from involved parties, and constant inflammatory and loaded language.
Wait, what’s inaccurate about that? Hamas lies all the time and nobody with any brain cells left regards Al-Jazeera as anything but the media wing of the Qatari dictatorship.

And that’s the English edition. The Arab language version is far worse.
I can’t imagine.
