    This is a really salient point.

    I get a lot of news from Australian Broadcasting Corp. Generally considered to be reasonably balanced.

    Just as a “random” example, this is the most recent article on the gaza conflict:

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-29/israel-says-war-with-hamas-enters-next-phase-in-gaza/103035732

    It’s factual as in “this person said this, someone said that”, but there’s no mention very much of what Gaza’s political leadership (yes, Hamas) has to say. By contrast, in the Ukraine conflict it was all about what Ukraine had to say but there were at least interjections of Russia’s public statements.

    That said, they’re not really pulling their punches, comparing death tolls et cetera.
