I find Al Jazeera to be a useful source of news for certain topics, but my understanding is that it is much less reliable for news related to the middle east. Some people (including me, for years) are not aware that it is the state-run media of Qatar. Nothing against Qatar, but I tend not to trust any state-run media when it comes to matters that involve the state.
