Israel vs. Gaza News

Not a lot of unbiased news right now. The media won't talk about the history of this issue because it might look bad for our ally, the right is using this to attack their opponents, and the left won't draw the line between being pro-Palestine and pro-Hamas. The entire debacle is a truth-free zone, unfortunately.

Though, this isn't unique to this conflict, there is always a fog of war, but the dissonance from all sides is pretty severe right now.

Personally, I recommend focusing on helping those caught in the cross fire, regardless of what side they are on, and worry about understanding everything that's happening later when we actually have better intel.

While truly unbiased news is elusive, some sources excel in objectivity. For balanced reporting on the Israel-Palestine conflict, Steve Lookner of Agenda-Free TV and Joe Truzman stand out. Lookner covers a broad array of subjects, whereas Truzman specializes in Middle Eastern politics. Both are likely to provide a more impartial perspective compared to mainstream media outlets.

I wait for actual unredacted videos to get uploaded to the assorted anonymous public "chan" boards so that I may form my own opinion. The comments are of course biased.

Usually I like nytimes but these days cant even bring myself to open it. It’s soo one sided that anything with more than 2 brain cells can see through that. Look at the atrocities in Israel (and I agree it’s beyond horrible and I fully condem it) but even if they put a quarter of their energy compared to what the spend covering Israel in to reporting about the conditions that multiple generations of apartheid Palestinians has faced they can provide a balanced view and help people understand the conflict. They have such a huge platform but it’s such waste that they promote a once sided view.

As a counter-point to every corporate news source including NPR, there are small independent sites that report the Palestinian perspective like:

Probably the best you can do is read/listen to multiple sources. There is unlikely to be a truly unbiased source on any subject that matters. And, biased can be used to mean the person/organization reporting has a history (possibly personal experiences) with the subject they are reporting on-- which makes them supremely qualified to report from that perspective.

Mitch Jeserich, host of Pacifica radio network's "Letters and Politics" does a good job of acknowledging his biases when discussing various subjects which is probably the closest thing to unbiased you will ever get-- pretending to not have an opinion is not unbiased, it is just dishonest reporting.

What is unbiased news?

By asking this question you are showing that you are biased yourself and seeking a source that will validate your own bias. If the source doesn't match your worldview, you will categorize it as biased.
