FWIW, I had long seen (state-affiliated, if not operated) Al Jazeera as more legit than RT. I have to admit I couldn’t really tell you why. But, not so much over the past couple of years.
Not sure about Al Jazeera specifically, but I’ve thought this about Qatar in general. A.J.'s articles about Ethiopia (for example) tend to be written by someone with an ax to grind, and ought to have “Editorial” prominently placed somewhere (or, I’ve just missed it).
