Al Jazeera is no more a propaganda machine than is Fox News or MSNBC. The three of them together are just peas in a pod. Of all the content these organizations release, 70% is editorial in nature and purpose and the remainder can be accepted as fact.
"Trust but verity" is pretty much the axiom by which one must live these days, regardless of the source. Occasionally, a fact is reported that speaks for itself and there is neither more nor less to it. Quite often, that is not the case.
