Thanks Israel! Now I know which news network still deliver unbiased news.

Dude Al Jazeera's fuckin fantastic

It is quite literally the only news I'm aware of which is (1) fairly big and professional, competent (2) not automatically pro-Western on everything (3) not run by some government, and filled with stories about how that government's great and any bad stories about it are evil lies

They are the remnants of BBC Middle East, hence que quality. They are, however, funded by the government of Qatar, and you won’t see that country being cast in unfavorable light in their articles. But other than that, they’re great.

They are the remnants of BBC Middle East,

Remnants? What happened to them?

A really good article about it. TLDR: BBC decided to close it.
