I'm not sure citing a Qatari propaganda site with a well documented history of employing members of terrorist organizations as "journalists" is helping make your point.

And here I thought aljazeera was a respectable journalistic outfit. They certainly seem to be doing better than most of the corporate US media by my estimate.

Perhaps you should back up your mud slinging?

While they may do some legitimate journalism they are well known for highly biased articles especially when it comes to anything relating to the middle east.

In what way? News organizations in the US like CNN certainly have higher standards than aljazeera.

Journalists who did work for aljazeera even held hostages in Gaza[0].

Holy shit, you're right! The country murdering thousands of captive civilians and spreading proven lies about the status of hospitals as terror bases reported it, so it must be true! I'll never trust Al Jazeera again, now that I know they take hostages.

That's just a really bad argument that falls flat on its face and discredits you.

> proven lies about the status of hospitals as terror bases

Hospitals being used by terrorists for military purposes in Gaza is well documented fact.[0][1]

Let's the the documents you're speaking of (and not those fake IDF spreadsheets which list some of them as being Hamas members when they were 6 or 7 years old).

Also please justify all of this:

List of journalists killed in the Gaza war:

Bari Weiss's CBS said a journalist who was killed was someone they worked with or some stupid shit when they were clearly a colleague or possibly more. I don't remember enough to be more specific, but that type of minimalism is rampant.

Israel kills journalists and civilians. Oh shit, civilian:
