Is Al Jazeera left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists Al Jazeera as Center within Qatar's media spectrum — the grouping it uses both for genuinely centrist titles and for outlets the major media-bias assessments do not place consistently on one side.
Read Al Jazeera beside another title from Qatar and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Broadcast newsrooms build around what can be shown and who can be booked, so Al Jazeera's online front page tends to track its on-air running order — watch which stories carry video and which are text-only. Because Al Jazeera is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Qatar title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
