Al Jazeera 12+

I don’t leave reviews often, but as I’ve been using Al Jazeera for news on the Russo-Ukrainian War since it’s beginning as well as other international news daily, I figured I should.

The app works very well. The movements are fluid and the interface isn’t confusing at all. Simply scroll, tap to open an article, then tap to close the article and scroll on to the next one.

Also, as someone who does not trust any media source (question everything, friends) Al Jazeera seems to be very unbiased and this is a breath of fresh air when you’re surrounded by other news agencies like Fox and CNN. When there is an article that you can look at and think to yourself, “Yeah, this will be/can be biased,” Al Jazeera doesn’t insert subliminal messaging and simply presents the news and updates as new information becomes available. And this is something that I appreciate immensely.

I’m interested in a wide range of world news. This app provides an excellent source of less bias news. I have tested” it against other Western sources and find that it tells a complete story without leaning toward various views. I read many sources and compare language word choices which can show bias trends. Obviously I represent my own biases, and my lack of language but I want to know the other “side’s view of a situation. Objectively and subjectivity are demonstrated from the simple analogy of looking a room while laying on the floor, looking from the ceiling and looking across the room at different heights.

AlJazeera has top-notch reporters and presents unbiased news. Our USA media sadly is controlled and biased. MSNBC is decent but the others—CBS, ABC, CNN, FOX, OAN are the worst. They are controlled by top management with plenty of misinformation for Americans to hear. If a reporter says something they do not like for him to say, they fire him. Dan Rather was great. He made that one mistake! Now he posts on the internet. Your country’s money would be well-spent if it invested heavily into our news media. Get other countries to join you. We as Americans need to hear ALL SIDES of stories, not slanted ones.
