I haven't heard of them until like 2-3 years ago and I see them posted in World News quite often. What kind of a news source is this? Are they biased in some way? Where are they based? Is there anything notable to know about them?

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.
