Israel's communications minister said on Sunday he was seeking a possible closure of Al Jazeera's local bureau, and accused the Qatari news station of pro-Hamas incitement and of exposing Israeli soldiers to potential attack from Gaza.

    I like that company because sometimes they’re the only “mainstream” source covering something at all. If they’re biased and we’re forcibly shutting down media agencies for being biased then there are some much higher priorities we should be after.

      Bias shouldn’t even be a consideration. If they’re not actively a criminal organization then governments can fuck right off with that nonsense.

    That’s not suspicious at all. One of probably the most fair news sites, and Israel wants to remove them… Uh oh.

    Yeah, I dunno about that. I don’t read them a lot, but when I do, I’ve actually never noticed a strong bias to their news presentation.

    Not counting opinion or analysis pieces, where completely avoiding bias is unrealistic, anyway.
