Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Not sure what's your point. Both Israel's government and Al Jazeera can be evil. It's not a zero-sum game.
One is facilitating a genocide, one is providing first-hand reporting of the genocide
you forgot the part where Al Jazeera is Qatar based organization with clear propaganda agenda. Do you trust Russia Today as well? I wouldn't trust any organization based in Qatar knowing their track record of human rights abuses.
Do you trust the New York Times, Wapo, NPR, VOA, etc.?
definitely more than a "press instution" based in the one of the most oppressive countries in the world. duh.
Less and less each day
How the fuck does that even work? Like what do you have against Al Jazeera?
it's an untrustworhy news organization that at the very least fails to do an appropriate amount of background check and at most supports and promotes terrorism. Also it's based in Qatar. Let that fucking sink in for a second.
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.
Can you point to the link which is evil?
Lmao go back to Reddit
