Agree on Al Jazeerah , and I am not even from the Arabic speaking / Muslim World. Their interviewers , from time to time seem to be a bit abrasive. But they are often on the cutting edge.
Yes BBC turned itself into a laughing stock. They opened up a Portuguese Speaking news branch mostly reporting on platitudes and uselesss coverage. I suspect their Portuguese newsstaff is full of aspiring interns.
I spotted France 24 , not bad , but haven’t zero it on it. The American Media is full of squaking types , and that includes CNN. CBS occasionally comes with decent stuff , on featured pieces such as 60 Minutes, IMHO.
In the US , Most local and regional news outlets have disbanded their foreign bureaus , sourcing out to AP or the old defunct Reuters , all under the guise of cost cutting measures. The rest is under a conglomerate such as Gannet or Knight Rider , or Belo.. And domestic coverage is mostly a repeat from what is aired from a single source. All there is out there is the NYT, The Post, The Boston Globe, the San Francisco Observer.
Even local coverage is being eaten under budget slashes. And the so critical weeklies, The NY Villlage Voice, The Phoenix , New Times , all but gone ).
Social media ain’t news. Most digital platforms could care less to staff themselves with real trained reporters.
