2 Jordanian Freelancers Quit Working For "Blatantly One-Sided" Faux News

Two Amman-based Jordanian freelance producers have declared they will no longer work for Fox News Channel in a message that denounces the network as an "instrument of the Bush White House and Israeli propaganda."

Serene Sabbagh and Jomana Karadsheh's letter, dated July 31, was forwarded to scores of reporters and others. In the letter, they write: "We base our decision on moral issues. We can no longer work with a news organization that claims to be fair and balanced when you are so far from that."

The two women say the network has a responsibility to report fairily for the "sake of your very naive viewers." They say they hoped the network would "develop a degree of respect to people in this part of the world." But: "The disdain and blatant one-sided coverage of all Mideast conflicts only highlights your total lack of humanity and bias toward Israel."

They also criticize "inexperienced anchors" and their "racist comments," calling them a "shameful scar on the American Media," and comparing them to the "state run Television networks in countries you despise in the Middle East."

:thumbsup:

I would, on occasion, watch for a few minutes or so... but I've stopped all together. The same is the case for CNN and MSNBC, though I may still pause for some minutes there (Dear God! I CANNOT believe Glenn Beck is on CNN!).

I can't imagine how bad it must have become in the past couple months...

The only way we will be able to have an impact on them, though, is to write to all their sponsors telling them how they are wasting their money on that network.

I can't say that I have EVER seen FAUX news--we don't get decent reception on that stationm so it isn't even accidentally on in our house.

I so wish a worldwide boycott of Faux "News" would be initiated.

Sometime, somehow the world needs to develop a spine again.

I salute these woman and honor their heroic stance.

:eyes:

days? Taking a stand? We're watching heroines! Hooray for all the brave women of the world.

I wouldn't say "these days."

But I agree with your sentiment. :D Hooray!

...and let me join you in that hooray! :toast:

yes, i would like to see them report as fairies!


:rofl:

We're trying to fight them over here so that others abroad won't have to fight them over there, but it is an uphill battle.

Goodness, we are the laughing stock of the planet, aren't we?

down.
Any station that allows the likes of O'Lielly to spew his factually bankrupt shit day after day and takes its marching orders from WH memos has zero credibility. (Not as though the rest of the corporate-whore media is any better)

:shrug: FOX will laugh all the way to the bank...

The emperor's tools - Fox, CNN, MSNBC are naked and ugly to boot.
