Wadah Khanfar - Former Director General, Al Jazeera

The satellite TV station Al Jazeera, is credited with giving ordinary Arabs a platform from which to challenge their governments.

Was the station's coverage biased on his watch?

And why did he leave Al Jazeera in the midst of the biggest news events in the Arab World for decades?
