I guess their credibility is now completely out the window

There's no such as independent back there to begin with.
I find this to be incredibly annoying. Asimov's essay on relativity of wrong should be mandatory reading for people engaging in debates. People forget that even if people make mistakes the world is not black-and-white, not 0 or 1. There's a whole infinity inbetween. People often don't look beyond the fact that no one scores a 1 to see that there are some that are teetering terribly close to 0, a 0.1 maybe, while a few put in a lot of effort to be at a 0.9. This comes up so many times in debates it is not even funny anymore.
* When talking about both the left and the right, in American politics, having radical ideas. They completely overlook how radical these ideas are, and the amount of airtime given to them.
* When talking about bias in media. Sure Fox, MSNBC, CNN, Comedy Central (if you view the Daily show as a news source) are biased in their own ways, but they're not equal.
* When talking about a few false steps in various scientific theories (which is what prompted Asimov to write his essay). Sure there are some unknown and possibly sticky problems with evolution, but that doesn't equate its incorrectness to the incorrectness of creationism (young-earth and otherwise) or intelligent design.
* When talking about anti-consumerist behavior. Sure Netflix, Apple, MSFT, and AT&T engage in anti-consumerist (or unpopular) behavior. That doesn't mean that they're all equally wrong, or equally short-sighted.
* When talking about the Israel-Palestine conflict. Sure both sides are wrong, but that doesn't absolve either side of their respective faults.
Sheikh Hamad bin Thamer Al Thani is the chairman of the board.
Sheikh Ahmad bin Jassim bin Mohammad Al Thani has been appointed as new director general.

The U.S. State Department clearly views Al Jazeera as a tool of Qatar's foreign policy; one cable from November 2009 claims that the Persian Gulf state uses the channel "as a bargaining tool to repair relationships with other countries, particularly those soured by al-Jazeera's broadcasts, including the United States." Al Jazeera devotes suspiciously little time to covering the politics of the Gulf; for instance, after Qatar's rapprochement with Saudi Arabia, criticism of the Saudi royal family dropped dramatically.
Very few care anyway and those that know will forget. There's no such as independent back there to begin with. Even here NBC will probably back down on a story after a call from GE that may have a pending deal with X corp.
