Al Jazeera clearly have their own biases, but outright banning them would be a bad sign.

They seem to be the only news station with reporters on the ground IN Gaza, so a ban could be seen as shutting the last (official) window of information, which does not sound good at all.

Al Jazeera has the shocking bias of valuing the lives of Muslims

They're also owned by the Qatari government so like, don't believe them if they tell you the slaves that make up 89% of Qatar's population are enjoying prosperous and fulfilling lives

This reporting isn't on Qatar.
