I noticed a good amount of people talking about Al Jazeera in the BBC paywall thread and that make me ask, why!?

    This kind of question is similar to proving a negative in logic.

    You’re asking why people think it’s trustworthy, implying you believe it isn’t.

    1. *Which people think it’s trustworthy? You used an ambiguous “many people” - I’d need to see something supporting this assumption.

    2. It would be more useful for you to give examples of why you don’t find it trustworthy, as this is what really matters with regard to any source.

    I don’t trust any one source, and instead try to piece together a likely truth by considering the different sources and how a story is told. I’m surely wrong as much as I’m right, but it’s the best any of us can do.

      The question asks for reasons people who consider it trustworthy do so. That’s nothing like trying to prove a negative. That’s just giving input on why you (may) believe something different from the asker.
