Because Al-J shows stuff from militants, etc, that probably wouldn't be shown on the bbc (etc) for various reasons. Because they seem to be the preferred recipient of tapes from various militant/terrorist groups, it seems to be interpreted that they're either connected or favouring them.
From all I can gather, Al-J is actually a pretty neutral/balanced channel; it's just that it has a different perspective to western media, so of course it's focus will more be upon the islamic/arab views.
