> The note about bias does nothing to prevent it from being used.

If you actually edit in this topic area, you should know that its bias comes up all the time. Almost every talk page on I/P is littered with endless debate over whether Al Jazeera covered this or that accurately.



Not really. There's no particular policy basis for objecting to biased sources, so this only comes up when

- An occasional newcomer tries to raise concerns, before being informed that it's pointless because Al Jazeera has been deemed reliable.

- Occasionally other reliable sources contradict Al Jazeera.

Both are quite rare compared to the vast number of Al Jazeera references.
