It got pretty famous after 9/11. I even have their app. But I mentioned to some Christian conservative family members that if they really wanted to understand what was happening in the Middle East (this was when the Egyptian general, who was voted out of power, overthrew the elected government and took leadership again) they should try Al Jazeera. Their response suggested that in their circles it was considered a very bad source of information. So at least among some groups it has a strong reputation.
