The Israeli army on Wednesday accused six Al Jazeera journalists covering the war in Gaza of also being current or former paid fighters for Palestinian militant groups. Al Jazeera rejected the claims.
Israel cited documents it purportedly found in Gaza, and other intelligence it gathered, in making the accusations against the journalists, all of whom are Palestinian men. It said four are or have been affiliated with Hamas, and two with Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Al Jazeera said the accusations were “fabricated” and “part of a wider pattern of hostility” toward the pan-Arab network. It said the claims were “a blatant attempt to silence the few remaining journalists in the region, thereby obscuring the harsh realities of the war from audiences worldwide.”
The Associated Press has been unable to independently verify the authenticity of the documents Israel posted online to support its claims.
So your bias is the reason you dislike their bias and you somehow think that makes it ok to paint them as terrorists and murder them? The actual fuck is wrong with you?
Not my biases but common sense

Common sense is implicit bias dude.
Aljazzera , showing IDF tiktok videos documenting their own war crimes, and, showing photos and videos live of, killing of women and children, is, by op amazing logic, is not trust worthy?
Yes, just because they do something right does not dismiss the low level premise that they are a state sponsored propaganda machine. Qatar has no laws to protect press from the government. There’s zero press freedom and Al Jazeera will do everything Qatar tells them to and can’t even talk about it. Isn’t that crazy?
This premise makes everything Al Jazeera does untrustworthy and needs to be verified by more trust worthy institutions.
I don’t get it how is it so hard to understand that? That’s the most basic of concepts and the irony that people defend this on a decentralized network is just incredibly poetic if not sad.
