Al Jazeera is very liberal and progressive, while Qatar, its owner, is very repressive and conservative. But Al Jazeera's purpose is to paint a positive image for Qatar all around the world.
Al Jazeera promotes democracy and civil rights in other countries, while Qatar itself is very repressive at home.
Al Jazeera is still a bit of a mystery.

They're now using Hollywood to burnish their image. Sharmine Narwani has this post up today:
John Travolta hanging out with The Saudi Butcher MbS' top court advisor and BFF. The Saudis are now reduced to buying photo ops with Hollywood celebs to rehabilitate their image. Travolta, you cheap whore.

Before that, it was asking Nicki Minaj to go twerk in Saudi Arabia. Hypocrisy there too.
Nicki Minaj can twerk in Bikini while I wear ‘Abaya’ to watch her
Nicki Minaj is going to be performing in Saudi Arabia and it is creating all types of controversies. Saudi women are enraged at event organizers for suggesting that they can only attend Nicki Minaj's concert in Saudi if they wear an abaya. Women have been calling out organizers for their dual standards.
She ended up cancelling her performance there.

Thank you, Ahmed.
Critiquing the situation in foreign countries doesn't make you liberal or progressive. It does make you a journalist.
Perhaps you should dig into the agenda behind the YT channel PolyMatter.
