Global News
What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Al Jazeera aren't Qatari shills, Al Jazeera are Qatari.
Al Jazeera was founded by Sheikh Hamad ibn Khalifa Al Thani, emir of Qatar, in 1996 and is wholly owned by the State of Qatar. Qatar funds Hamas and Hezbollah to kill Jews, and all the news from Al Jazeera is meant to convince the world that Jews have no place in the Middle East, and no claim to Israel. It was the singluar reason the Emir of Qatar founded Al Jazeera in the first place.
It's a single purpose propaganda organization.
None of this matters to the Jew baiters in the Fediverse though.
I block anyone posting Al Jazeera anything, you might well as title your post "Yalla, rape, kill, and burn all the Jews". Fuck Al Jazeera, and fuck anyone that posts from it, knowing they target Jews for murder.
๐ป - al jazeera
In all seriousness, i dont know why people expect an arabic first news org to not espouse arab first news. It would be like going to the Vatican for news coverage about attacks on Catholic peoples
Al-Jazeera isn't just biased in favour of Arabs or Palestinians. If that was the case, Fatah (and other governments in the middle-east) wouldn't have repeatedly accused them of bias.
