      That article doesn’t cite anything either, only that “some sources say” he donated some of the money. A far cry from the claim that he donated all of the stolen $4b.

          Oh my God, could there be alternatives somewhere between the US and radical Islamists? 😱

        Aljazeera is a fine source as long as you’re not looking at their news regarding Qatar/Qatari interests.

          Absolutely, that’s their one major source of bias. They lean mildly to the left, but I’m very much okay with that given what “leaning right” means these days

          What’s a good unbiased source? As an example I checked DW on the above website and while they’re rated as being left center and having a high factual reporting, thanks to Germany’s general bias they currently report very little about Palestine.

            I think you have to read a variety of sources and favor the outlets that report facts without reporter opinion. I’d use Al jazeera for news outside of the middle east, but also add reuters and Associated Press.

            Foreign language press is also interesting if you feel your sources have bias.
