99+% of interviews in American media aren't trying to challenge the interviewee. They're just trying to gather information from one side, and then they generally try to get a token representative quote from the other side at the very end of an article, but sometimes not even that.

So you seem to be trying to hold Al Jazeera to a vastly higher standard than mainstream US media, at least in this particular regard.

Simply reporting without comment on what important/influential individuals and groups are saying, and adding basic objective context, is a large part of mainstream journalism.

Pushback is often limited to the opinion pages.
