Are they biased in some way
Yes. All news/media sources are biased. There is no such thing as unbiased news.

ANAB - All News Are Biased
It’s state owned media from Qatar. I’m assuming that it’s got loose ties to US capital, indirectly through Saudi capital. It’s middle eastern MSM.
They’re a state media from Qatar; Pro-Palestine, Anti-Imperialist, usually (unfortunately) Anti-LGBT.
Provides World and Middle East coverage primarily but also I’ll see African (normally northern African) and SEA coverage as well.
I view it in the way as RT or CGTN, use it be aware of developments from a anti-imperialist POV and conduct my own research from there.
Additionally they, like RT and CGTN, also have RSS feeds for news apps. 👍
Are they biased in some way?
All news sources are biased in some way, shape or form
Al-Jazeera is a media network owned by Qatar. It provides international voverage of news but naturally focuses on the Middle East region. Its political inclinations may vary depending on the country they're broadcasting to.
But generally speaking, it is pro palestine and anti imperialist. Evidently, its narratives may change with Qatar's geopolitics. For example, Al-Jazeera directed in the past a lot of criticism to Saudi Arabia, namely the war in Yemen and the murder of a certain journalist.
Ultimately, every media outlet has certain biases which is how journalism is meant to actually be. I can partly attest to Al-Jazeera's high quality journalism.
