Any other outlets?

@Dreamer Source having high factual reports and fact checking their sources instead of just posting their agenda? https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ is usually pretty good even if it's not perfect

"Media Bias/Fact Check rarely conducts original fact checks as many other sources are faster and do a better job. We primarily rely on fact-checkers affiliated with the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN)."

Source: Media Bias Fact Check

Writers at the Poynter Institute, which develops PolitiFact, have stated that "Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific." In 2018, a writer in the Columbia Journalism Review described Media Bias/Fact Check as "an armchair media analysis" and characterized their assessments as "subjective assessments [that] leave room for human biases, or even simple inconsistencies, to creep in".

@brain_in_a_box I'm sure that CCP-funded or Russia-funded media like RT are much better sources./s

NYT reported on the increased raids in the Jenin refugee camp: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/24/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-war-west-bank-jenin.html

NYT is still a pretty respectable source, plus it floats more pro Israel than Al Jazeera.

This article doesn't specifically say anything about a Christmas day raid though.

@Boff

That's my point, also it talks about Jenin, not Bethelem like Al-Jazeera claims

Counter disclaimer, AJE does great work and is only lambasted by low information racists

~~Al Jazeera isn't even reporting on it. The article OP linked doesn't say anything about Israel attacking anywhere in the West Bank, let alone Bethlehem.~~

~~It just says people in Bethlehem are sad that people in gaza are dying.~~

~~The OP is clearly lying to try to drum up anti Israeli support by putting a blatantly false headline and hyping nobody does any research. Disgusting.~~

Edit: The first article was hidden by the way my lemmy app handles links vs comment bodies and i misunderstood what I was clicking.
