In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

Because it is. It’s more or less the only news source in the world that combines solid journalistic integrity, a well-funded operation, and a non-Western perspective. Most of the well funded serious journalism in the world is Western (and by default sort of coming from at least a mildly “gives Israel the benefit of the doubt” perspective for example), and a lot of the non-Western press isn’t as well funded or skilled. Al Jazeera is pretty much the only one that doesn’t suffer from either defect.
