Two weeks ago, two producers working for Fox News in Amman, Jordan resigned in protest of the network's coverage. In their resignation letter, Serene Sabbagh and Jomana Karadsheh wrote "We can no longer work with a news organization that claims to be fair and balanced when you are so far from that." We go to Amman to speak with producer Serene Sabbagh.

I don't think anyone denies the fact that Fox has a conservative bias, but they say it exists to balance the liberal bias on the other stations. If you recall there have been BBC reporters who resigned for the same reason (opposite side of the issue). This problem is widespred thoughout the media. Look at the falsified AP & Reuters photos.

Thank God some people are willing to speak up about Fox news' ridiculous idea of news coverage. Even here in Minneapolis, MN our local Fox news station has the most skewed idea of what a news story is and then they only cover one side of the story.

I did notice news coverage seemed to be a little (little is a sarcastic term in this sentence) one sided in the coverage... I find it also as odd that the news media would report "new" news with photos that match photos of places and people taken a week or two before and even stated different places for the pictures taken of the exact same place with the exact same people....
And they wonder why people turn to the Internet for their news... there IS NO other place.

It's happened before at Fox, many times actually. When Murdock took over there were many above and below the line people who quit because they did not want to do scripted news casts.
It's all been reported before. It's just that most Americans have short memories.

For long FOX news was part of Israel's public relations machine .I doubt if resignation of few persons will make a difference .The money paid to them by the Zionest lobby is much more important to them.

There are many good people. The question is how smart are they. Do they think for themselves and follow the ethics they claim to believe in or are they being led around by people who espouse the teachings of the Bible and in reality follow the philosophy of Adolph Hitler.

It's just plain laughable how FOX News can call it self "fare and balance" (and with a straight face, no less) ... give me a break.

fox news was showing the devastation that Hezbollah caused Lebanon, that's fair and balanced,. You mentioned that all you want is peace from Israel, they gave up land and still got attacked by Hezbollah, If the surrounding nations would just leave Israel alone there would be peace...

I suppose you would rather have your fair and balanced al jazeer report? Or maybe CNN;
Yes I think Fox was biased in favor of Israel; as much so as CNN was not and al jazeer is just a propoganda machine Hitler would be proud of
