You didn't really answer the question.
Someone could say that the New York Times is funded by a mindless money-driven machine which seeks only profit, and all its coverage needs to be defined in that light, and so we can safely discard anything it has to say. I wouldn't say that. But it does make arguably an equal amount of sense to discarding Al Jazeera because they're funded in part by a theocratic monarchy. I would say we should judge them primarily on their output and journalistic standards.
I would say in this specific situation, Al Jazeerah is more of a participie in the Israel-Palestine war than the New York times is.
I however don't read the New York times and have no ability to defend them, since I cut out corporate media from my life years ago.
