I'm no fan of our current president. But, should we trust al Jazeera as a news source? Propaganda....they probably are a 'reliable' source, news...not so much, imo! And I will admit to going on instinct on this, along with what I've read and heard on their media outlets, rather than really concrete information on their slant on news from what I'd consider more reliable sources.

The basis for the Al Jazeera article:

P.S. Does anyone trust the liberal news media to give us the truth? The New York Times has been caught in several plagiaristic and confirmed lying articles, yet you believe them?

Whatever made you think I would trust the NYT????

Actually, I trust little that I read, unless it seems to make sense, or be in agreement with several sources. But in the end, only God knows. ooooops! many people don't believe in Him, either. Guess the mere name Al Jazeera sort of makes me feel there may be a bias in favor of beliefs and teaching with which I cannot agree.....if that is biased, so be it. Reading through many of the headlines on theintercept.com site, makes me wonder if there is any such thing as non-biased reporting.

That leaves me with the local gossip/news in local news papers.....most of that is verifiable because most of us know one another pretty well and can sort the probable from the wildly far fetched, if such should be printed.

MRJ is right again - I don't consider Al smear America a news source. I read the Economist to get outside U.S. Propaganda, but that still doesn't work all the time.

I watch all the news channels to get an overall picture. To be honest, Al Jazeera is no more overtly biased than MSNBC or CNN. Certainly not the NYT. Say what you will, but we HAVE been snookered by the Drone killings by Buckwheat. While the killings may or may not have been justified, the lack of Intelligence we get from them is part of the problem.

Agreed we been snookered. None the less, I like the destabilizing effect that I imagine they have, but I don't like to be lied to. I understand Barry doesn't suppose mere citizens are deserving of the truth if the truth runs contrary to some disinformation campaign.
