It’s basic decency. Good on them.

    Curious why Al Jazeera is included as alt media?

    Surely it is part of the global media establishment. The biggest state owned international news website in the middle east.

    It is not part of the global media establishment. It offers a perspective outside of the global hegemony centered around the US, which includes media and has as a characteristic a distinct pro-Israel bias. Al Jazeera certainly isn't perfect, but it is outside the "establishment". That's why Israel bombs its buildings and shoots its reporters.

    If you view the establishment as just the west, yeah sure, but by that logic you could call RT and SCMP anti-establishment which I really wouldn’t.

    I guess I conceptualise the establishment as the main news actors that set the narrative inside and outside the west.

    (btw I’m not saying Al Jazeera isn’t valuable as a source, I’m just really sceptical of calling it alt media unless you’re taking a purely western perspective on what is alt media and what isn’t)
