I've been keeping an eye on Al-Jazeera as an alternate news source and honestly have never gotten this sense (as far as their reporting goes). Anti-semitism headlines are a big red flag here.

Yeah, they are really critical of Israel but I've never seen them say anything disparaging about Jewish people or women.

They're doing an ass job of launching their US tv station, that much is clear. I think they hired the wrong people.
