Knowing very little about what AJA actually broadcast but knowing quite a lot about the Qatari regime I can't help thinking that AJA were not the least biased TV news outlet in the States, but rather the one whose bias was least perceptible to the well-educated, relatively young, slightly liberal-leaning, frequenters of HN.

This is exactly my thoughts exactly. Reality is biased. It just depends which opinions and ideologies you subscribe to. I am progressive and am against police brutality and a lot of the drug policies, I just could never trust the intentions of the Qatari news organization. I read the NYT for domestic and world news. Being Jewish and with all of my relatives in Israel, I read Times of Israel and Haaretz for Israel / Middle East coverage. I am a news junky and I subscribe to both NYT and Haaretz.
