I noticed a good amount of people talking about Al Jazeera in the BBC paywall thread and that make me ask, why!?

    In my life experience the only way to test the reliability of a news source is to actually live some events and see how they are reported by different media.

    I have no such experience with al Jazeera, so I couldn’t tell you reliably if they are or not reliable. Best advice with media is, unless you are certain they are reliable, treat them as unreliable.

      reporting from “outside looking in” perspective, rather the us/bbc which only does it in the inside looking in.

          I’m not even from an english speaking country. Virtually all media I read online is foreign to me. Remember you can still buy printed magazines and publications, but these are in your native culture.
