It's legit but it's mostly news and not so much editorials.

Their international coverage is good, but because they are state run by the Qatari government I would be skeptical of their coverage of stories local to them in some capacity.

They're not outright bullshit, but they are strongly left-biased. More the "we won't report on it if it doesn't fit" type of bias, though; not the fake news type.

I think the international news divisions are very well regarded, but the local Qatari channel has run some pretty heinous right-wing state propaganda.

I agree with this, and as someone who watches them regularly I was a little upset at a couple of antisemitic comments that they made, which they were heavily criticized for and made public apologies for...

If TC is old enough, you might be getting the propaganda idea back from the Iraq occupation when the US president referred to them as terrorists and bombed some of their journalists "accidentally"

The Aljazeera has been around for decades. It's a reputable organization. Great for international news.
