Noted you left the part out about Al-Jazeera being reliable for most things except for reporting on the Israel-Hamas war. Al-Jazeera is a reliable source for things that aren't related to Hamas or its owners, the state of Qatar.
On Hamas - Israel war related issues it should be viewed as biased and inaccurate.
In any case, Al-Jazeera isn't rated as one of the better media outlets
Al Jazeera - Bias and Credibility
LEFT-CENTER BIAS These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wordingmediabiasfactcheck.com
Of note:
" In general, opinion pieces are routinely biased against Israel and right-wing ideologies."
Pretty conclusive, there's nothing left to discuss here.

You don't think it's feasible? Qatar state (owner of AJ) funds Hamas, hosts Hamas leadership. AJ had journalists holding Israeli citizens hostages in the Hamas-Israel war.
If you think that won't result in a major bias good for you. It shows your inherent bias if you genuinely believe that. Media fact checking websites also say pretty much the same thing.
You also claim AJ is no more biased than NYT on the Hamas - Israeli war. Let's delve into fact checking on NYT:

NYT receives a high score for factual reporting unlike AJ which receives mixed.
In summary:
- Overall, we rate the New York Times Left-Center biased based on wording and story selection that moderately favors the left. They are considered one of the most reliable sources for news information due to proper sourcing and well-respected journalists/editors. The failed fact checks were on Op-Eds and not straight news reporting.
No mention of biases, for the most part their reporting considered reliable. And just like AJ, a left leaning media outlet.
Your claim that NYT & AJ are both equally accurate in regards to the Hamas-Israel war is simply false.
I don't think about or picture you at all.
Bias hiding in plain sight: Decades of analyses suggest US media skews anti-Palestinian
How the media talks about suffering on one side compared with the other can often reveal bias in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict coverage, writes a scholar of media bias and the Arab world.theconversation.com
Pro-Israel media bias is a thing, especially in the Western World. It's how issues are presented and how language is used.
This isn't new. The NYT is subject to the same things as mentioned in the article I've linked.
Once again, bias and accuracy are different things.
For example, how much on the below page isn't factual, how much would even be reported by other outlets?
Israel war on Gaza updates: Israeli attacks across enclave kill 60 people
Israeli attacks in Gaza have killed 60 people and injured 140 in the latest 24-hour reporting period.www.aljazeera.com
Things like you disregarding AJ completely despite it being a very legitimate media outlet with actual sources in that part of the world, is part of the reason you seem to have a fairly one-sided view of this topic IMO.
I'm not disregarding it completely.
Ah-Ahli mass murder.
mass murder / rape / desecration on Oct 7 by Hamas
crimes committed against Palestinians in the Weat Bank
disproportionate response to having war declared on them
Not true. I've stated that AJ reporting on the Hamas-Israel war is biased and inaccurate towards Hamas. This is not disregarding Hamas completely. I also note you couldn't find AJ coverage of the incidents that I mentioned that we both know are fact. Why do you think Al-Jazeera didn't report them? A reasonable media organisation would report these facts that Al-Jazeera were undoubtedly in knowledge of as you say because of their contacts in the Gaza strip. I have a suspicion what your response will be.Proceeds to disregard it completely.
Al-Jazeera are in possession of the facts that Ah-Ahli wasn't caused by an Israeli air strike. This was confirmed by the ABC journalist who spoke to them after they retracted their reporting on it after it was found to not be an Israeli air strike. What explanation can you offer for AJ ignoring this and still reporting that Israel are to blame? Added bonus if you can answer without the usual response of deflections and whataboutisms.What you've identified - much like every other outlet - is that their coverage is flawed. Much like every outlet. Things like selective reporting or biased language.
For example, the way you refer to things done by Hamas:
As compared to things done by Israel:
Can you see how different your use of language is here?
You must surely understand how you appear to be a pro Hamas poster to someone who is neutral.
For those interested in the facts about possible war crimes I suggest looking at this guy. For example, it's been alleged settlers were trying to tear a Palestinian child in two. In actuality:
This is not the flex you think it is and is an implication that you fully support IDF actions. No reasonable person can support all the actions IDF has taken in this war.
It is absolutely not unreasonable to support the IDF committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and violating IHL and IHRL.
Do you know how a democracy works?
Israel is an apartheid regime, a pariah state. A pretend democracy.
https://www.worlddata.info/pariahstates.php
Is that the list you keep linking that has Israel as a pariah state and not Iran?
Imagine being more of a global outcast than Iran. Ouch.
Israel is an apartheid regime, a pariah state. A pretend democracy.
https://www.worlddata.info/pariahstates.php
tolerating terrorism, a lack of freedom of expression and democracy and violations of human rights.
Here's some of the criteria for a pariah state:
Palestine is guilty of these things.
So why is it not listed as a pariah state?
Or is the site you posted a load of garbage?
Iran is on the rogue state list, which has been explained to you previously.
Perhaps you should take notes, as your memory seems to be failing you.
