Dear All,
We would like to announce our resignation from Fox News in Amman. Although we never actually worked for your organization, we helped for the past three years in facilitating your work in the Middle East. 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. Not only are you an instrument of the Bush White House, and Israeli propaganda, you are war mongers with no sense of decency, nor professionalism. You have crossed all borders and red lines.
An Arab mother cries over the death of her child very much like an American and Israeli mother. Arab blood is not cheap, and we are not barbarians. You ought to be more responsible and have more decency when you take one side against the other. You have a role to play and a responsibility to shoulder for the sake of your very naive viewers. Throughout the three years we worked with you, and helped you, we thought you would develop a degree of respect [for] 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.
Your lack of professionalism has made you a [source] of ridicule throughout the world. Your inexperienced anchors with their racist comments are not only a shameful scar on the American Media, they simply represent state run Television networks in countries you despise in the Middle East. Finally, our decision again is based on moral and professional basis and from now on we will no longer help in any Fox related matters.
Serene Sabbagh
Jomana Karadsheh

Wow! These two journalists are making a very forceful statement. I doubt this will have any actual impact on Fox’s coverage but one can hope.
UPDATE: The media professional web resource Media Bistro has picked up the story, reporting that:
"Sabbagh appeared on FNC, including The O’Reilly Factor, last November after the Jordanian hotel blasts. This April blog entry on FOXNews.com identifies Karadsheh as a "Jordanian producer for Fox." Update: 6:56pm: "Karadsheh has been Fox’s producer inside the Saddam trial," a tipster adds. Karadsheh has also worked for CNN, as recently as last week in Baghdad."

Oh, yeah, like you need me to spell it out for you; what you should do? Is it the former or the latter. Sign up if with the IDG, they will surely let you fight for your beloved Israel. I am a veteran. You gonna attack me now with some half a$$ vitriol? People like you that have never fought in a war make me sick. War sucks.
Tommie: So, I was busy and do not have the time to “I got to surf every blog bashing Israel” that you do.
It should have said “So, any one that makes a blanket statement that the majority of the world recognizes hezbollah as a terrorist organization is surely naive.”
The point the original poster made is still valid. Why do you attack semantics and a minor error without reading the post. Instead, you shout out names against people. That seems to be the MO from the staunch religious right and those that follow them. That guy about the Mossad influence might even have a point.
Yep, scanning the substance of your posts here and following your IP address to other sites tells me a whole lot about you.
Get over it. Or just end it. Like do everyone a favor. The world does not need people like you.
Tommy,
You attack semantics, but fail to see the point. You are the ignoramus. Probably just some fox news punk causing trouble or maybe an agent of Mossad trolling the net. Be Gone Nazi Fascist.

Excuse me. I meant the latter, not former, comment.
Sorry Crash. Try again.
“So, any one that makes a blanket statement that the majority of the world recognizes hezbollah as naive is surely naive.”
“are the ONLY countries that officially classify Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.”
The former comment isn’t a blanket statement, ignoramus?
3ogla,
Hitler was not Jewish. The rumor that his paternal grandfather might be Jewish has been thorougly debunked.
Please avoid bring up such nonsense.

“Hitler who was a Jew who killed Jews?
I think the point liquid so eloquently made was this guy stated much of the free world had hezbollah as a terrorist organization. Whether a member of the organization is listed on a terrorist list is not the point. At the time, the EU does not recognize hezbollah as a terrorist organization:

So, any one that makes a blanket statement that the majority of the world recognizes hezbollah as naive is surely naive. Quite the contrary, a great majority of the world does not recognize them as a terrorist organization. Point well made.
Interestingly, hezbollah was an offshoot of the Dawa party. The iraqi Prime Minister that spoke in the joint session of congress is a member of the Dawa party. The US supports the Dawa party, which along with Islamic Jihad in the early 80’s formed a faction now known as hezbollah. So, what is the deal with that?
Points well made. The point being that Fox News listeners are naive and just believe everything they are told without going out and looking into sources outside the mainstream media. I guess that is lost on those that are narrow minded. And probably naive.
Yep. Hook Em Horns.
To the idiot that was talking about the founder about the Baath party, do your research first. Aflac who founded the original Baath party was a brilliant who was trying to create a true democratic system within the Middle East only to be failed by the West because they did not want to see a strong Middle East. The same West that supported the Islamic extremist movement who were planning for today’s wars knowing that the Soviet Union would fail eventually and they would need a new common enemy.
To the idiot that was talking about Nazism spreading to the Middle East. That is abusrd, Hitler who was a Jew who killed Jews would have gone after the Arabs had he succeeded further. Aditionally why don’t you talk about the present day hollocaust that Israel is comitting and try to stop it? Many Arabs have condemened the hollocaust that took place against the Jews. Why don’t you condemn the hollocaust that is taking place today against the Palestinians and the Lebanese?
You know I”m sick of the few extremists that are pushed to come and argue on Arab blocks, why don’t you go and aruge with your likes. Thats it I won’t argue with your likes anymore because its easier to convince a doneky than convincing one of you.
words and more words to define and define
yet the child still dies
OUR actions persist
the innocent turn to dust
and WE sit to blog another day
