Covered here, same facts, albeit with a fairly explicit level of slant.
Oh give me a break. Call it what it is: propaganda. You won’t hear me defend the NYT but this (edit: the article, not your comment) is pure garbage.

Right, whereas you have no blind spots, and are able to accurately assess the truthiness of a publication. If you’d like to establish the credibility of Al-Jazeera, could you help me find their coverage of these various Qatar-related items? I tried, and can’t find a trace of any of them on AJ, which is odd because some people online say they’re very trustworthy.

I predict that the “mixed” will be based on, at most, like 1-2 arguably-false-in-retrospect stories from at least five years ago and an overall claim like “well they say bad things about Israel and that just makes us pretty suspicious, you get it, right?”. Not anything along the lines of that they are ever careless with the truth.
Try to find any negative coverage about Qatar on AJ.
The statement criticised what it called Beijing’s “provocative” behaviour in the South and East China Seas, joint military exercises with Russia and the rapid expansion of its nuclear weapons arsenal.
Pretty easy to read between the lines on this one. Neither side needs to mention Taiwan in order to know what this is really about.

Thank you for the source, much appreciated!
Welcome to Lemmy, where Murica Bad, and the less Murica it is, the more unequivocally good it is.
Calling out hypocrisy. Cheering LGBT representation is pointless if only a select few get to benefit while others are harshly repressed.
I wonder how many of those are from Africa and the Middle East.
(just kidding, we all know it’s zero)
Congratulations on coming out of your coma! There’s a lot you need to get caught up on…
What if I take a screenshot and make an NFT out of it?
Mexico has been essentially a failed state for about 200 years. Its history is a series of coups and revolutions punctuated by periods of instability like we have today.
Still expecting others to be subservient and obsequiously pay tribute to the middle kingdom after all these years. You’d think they’d have permanently snapped out of it after they got clapped by a few metal ships ~180 years ago but they seem to have forgotten about that.
Oh, is the wolf warrior now wondering why it doesn’t have any friends? Who’d have thought that being a belligerent bully would have consequences?
Pride being used to help disadvantaged victims is fine.
The real disadvantaged victims are queer people in Palestine (and especially Gaza), where being gay or trans is persecuted to a degree unlike nearly every other place in the world. Not only are they oppressed by Israel, but they’re also oppressed by their own people. Here’s a good report on the matter (PDF) https://cdn.sida.se/app/uploads/2021/05/07094749/rights-of-lgbt-persons-palestine.pdf
Human rights should come before anything else, whether it’s borders or religion or whatever. The morally consistent position is to advocate for Palestinian freedom that also includes freedom for all Palestinians to be themselves.
I sure wish queer people were left out of this war that has essentially nothing to do with them. It’s a caricature of intersectionalism. Here’s another absurd example: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/stjohns-pride-palestine-action-yyt-1.7253192
St. John’s Pride names pro-Palestine advocacy group as grand marshals for annual parade
On July 21, Palestine Action YYT will lead the annual parade, which will wind its way through downtown St. John’s and end at Bannerman Park for the Pride in the Park event.
The group has protested throughout the city for months, with downtown marches downtown calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, vigils for those who have died in the conflict, and tent encampments and the occupation of Memorial University buildings to call on administration to divest from companies that are funding the war.
Sure, but the article makes it seem almost malicious or deliberate, when my impression is that it’s simply good old German bureaucracy in action.
Good read, but damn the author really has it in for Germany. I think the case against them is greatly overstated.
I hope they learn good lessons from this. The main strength of the US military is its logistics, and being unable to deploy a simple pier is concerning.
FWIW I also disagree with WaPo being “highly credible”. What I take issue with here is the labeling of AJ as highly credible. I would reserve that label for outlets like AP or Reuters, or a few state media like France24 and perhaps the CBC. The BBC would have made the cut a few years ago but has been in sharp decline.
