53. No major media outlet is 100% credible or free of bias and slant.

Al Jazeera does terrific coverage of Israel-Palestine and did equally terrific coverage of Iraq. I know because I speak Arabic and learned and continue to maintain that skill partially through Al Jazeera Arabic. I don't expect them to report fairly on the human rights situations in Saudi Arabia or Qatar because of their connections to the region.

The BBC does good reporting on many international issues, but because it's a government outlet, I don't expect the most independent reporting on the UK's government.

Some MSM outlets in the US do good reporting on civil rights and foreign affairs issues, but because they are corporately owned, I don't expect widespread criticism of capitalism.

RT may cover international issues well, and cover some dissent in Russia, but given their bankrolling by the Kremlin, I don't expect them to be highly critical of Putin himself or on something so directly tied to the Kremlin's interests such as Ukraine.

No major outlet is going to be free of bias, and all one can do is know where the bias comes from and filter relevant stories accordingly. Never trust just one source.
