Al-Jazeera has journalists readily on hand in areas like Gaza and Tehran which most other news organizations do not have active access, with much more on the ground footage and close quarters info. Make of this what you will.

When you look at articles on touchy subjects, you will find some anti-west narrative seep into what should be a fairly objective news piece. Like in this case with the January riots in Iran you can actually see some very factual statements, but mixed in with words or statements that would never belong in an objective article.

Some like using it as it has a side of the news often not covered by 'western' media.

There are also rumours that some journalists were in fact Hamas operatives masquerading as journalists. Of course that is still heavily heated and debated.

They are a good read / watch with an * on certain subjects that you need to be mindful of potential narratives overtaking objective reporting
