My comment was incorrect and didn’t translate my thought, as you pointed out.
I don’t know why OP sourced it, rather than some european newspaper. AJ is the largest international news organization in the Middle East, and I’d refer to it when learning about the situation there, because I know they have plenty of people on the ground. Euronews, CNN, Reuters, Guardian, whoever - would likely refer to them when asked to cover something there too.
But to AJ Spain is a generic ‘world’ category. One that they have limited resources to cover. There, they themselves are in a situation where they are to refer to someone, and by quality and effort it’s secondary to local coverage. That’s my point one.
Point two is that we read about pedophiles in spanish clergy on 99% muslim news portal. I bet, it’s morbidly entertaining to their readers to hear that these christians take another L. It’s like my state’s newspapers waiting the death of dollar, or american podcasters discussing the fall of chinese economy. It supports their worldview. It isn’t content written with us in mind. So, even if it’s non-biased, why would we refer to a news org that is so distant from this place, from this subject, from us?
Point minus-one tho is that AJ is now caught in Palestine-Israeli conflict. Their journalists were killed in Gaza, they talk against Israel, they are to be banned there (?). I feel like downvotes came from here. Because people felt I have my grudge with AJ in relation to current news. No. AJ is biased, but they are paired with an obv biased israeli reporting, they are two parts of one picture.
It is surprising to you that one of the largest international news organizations in the middle east also covers news from spain? Why?
