Why? Because they have not spread pro Israel propaganda without doing a minute amount fact checking. Or worse, straight up lying for Israel.

There are a few, such as TheGuardian, which have spread massive Israeli propaganda for a year. They have recently turned around tried to put the mask back on. But they have already shown their true face.

Israel propaganda without doing a minute amount fact checking

sometimes you get some hints they are reporting relatively fairly about stuff you don't know yet because of how they are reporting things you know. just be careful with not getting too sure you know.

not specifically vouching for any of these outlets either, just highlighting this rule of thumb.

I feel like their bias is to simply not cover things they do not want to show.

But the reason I find them more credible is because they are able to provide sources and not quote their own random anonymous journalists. If I can check the sources I can verify claims.
