Well it's basic propaganda. For instance, there is a LARGE difference between English and Arabic content. So don't read Al-Jazeera english, read the arabic version with your browser's translation turned on.

For example, in English, there's a country called Israel. In Arabic there isn't. It's called "the occupation". In English there are only ever Muslim civilian victims (e.g. patients in hospitals, little girls in their home). In Arabic muslims destroyed X civilian targets and they brag that they can do that, but there aren't muslims victims anymore, only "martyrs". The little girl doesn't get mentioned anymore, I can only assume she's one of the martyrs now. In English, there are only attacks on muslims (and Sudan doesn't get talked about much). In Arabic there's only battles and always some sort of victory.

E.g. in Arabic their current "victory" articles. God (ie. "allah") has apparently destroyed the IDF, reconquered a Syrian mosque, enabled "Al-Houthi" to attack 22 Israeli and US targets (all civilian targets I might add, in Arabic they brag about the targets being civilian), and allah has "harvested legal victories" against Israel and the US at the UN:
