I did wonder if perhaps its name and anti-Arabic prejudice held held it back. It would be a shame if it did, because Al Jazeera seemed like a remarkably sane and thoughtful voice in the otherwise short-sighted and highly partial media landscape of the US.

Yes, that's what I meant - I remember it was an issue when they started to gain traction in the US market. For someone not familiar with them, Al Jazeera likely doesn't sound a like a legitimate news source. I wondered if that's still the case. Persoannly, I found their reports to be excellent in many cases.
