This is the just speculation. While Khanfar had a vital role in Aljazeera , it's a known fact That he wasn't the channel's policy maker.
Over the past years most liberal Arabs accused the channel during Khanfar Reign to be Muslim brotherhood oriented, still this have not effected in earning him one if the most powerful people in the world according To Forbes magazine.
I think with the current Aljazeera network expansion, the GD role must be management oriented rather than journalism oriented . With the local presence of think tanks like brookings Doha centre, RUSI Qatar & Azmi Bashara and their clear influence in the network policy ever since the Arab spring started, There will be almost no impact in the current channel status
Independent or not, Aljazeera is a powerhouse media outlet & no.1 in the region.
