‘We aired lies’: Al Jazeera staff quit over ‘misleading’ Egypt coverage
As many as 22 Al Jazeera employees have quit since the overthrow of Mohammad Mursi, amid concern over the channel’s alleged bias towards the Muslim Brotherhood and its coverage of Egypt.
Criticism over the channel’s editorial line, the way it covered events in Egypt, and allegations that journalists were instructed to favor the Brotherhood are said to be the main reasons behind the mass resignations.
As many as 22 Al Jazeera staff resigned on Monday, Gulf News reported, but other media said only seven had left the broadcaster.

Al Arabiya under cyber attack since Egyptian president’s ouster
Al Arabiya websites have been under ongoing electronic attack since Tuesday July 3, reaching its peak on Monday July 8.
The attacks began after Major General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, commander in chief of the Egyptian armed forces, declared the overthrow of President Mohamed Mursi.
The attacks were first instigated from Egypt, but in the last few days have come from different parts of the world, according to Al Arabiya technicians.
The attacks are aimed at slowing down publication of articles, downloading of pages and videos, and browsing speed.
Al Arabiya’s technical team has suspended the comments and search tabs until it finds solutions to repel the attacks.
Money talks does it not...not surprised the gulf came in pretty quick...they all saw Morsi wasn't doing the job even though some supported him.
Aljazzer..lololololol..about time.
As for Al Arabyiya..I can believe their sites were ambushed.....you can see the interferance come on twitter and blogs... also tweeting rolo style tweets is used.
Twitter strangely enough has a rhythm to it...I never went on tweet before these marches.....but going there and other venues for photos you see eventually see the rhythum.
As Eric Trager explains in the Wall Street Journal:
The turning point in Mr. Morsi’s presidency came on Nov. 22,2012 when he asserted unchecked executive authority through a constitutional declaration.... and, weeks later, rammed an Islamist constitution through to ratification.
When mass protests erupted in response, Mr. Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood colleagues dispatched Brotherhood cadres to attack the protesters, and seven people were killed in the fighting.
There always is a tipping point....wondering if the USA has one?
July 9, 2013.....Brotherhood militants move into Sinai ‘to attack army’....
They’re expected to join forces with jihadist groups linked to al-Qaida who have established bases in Sinai’s vast desert wastes since 2011 and are already clashing with Egyptian security forces.
Israel has allowed Egypt to deploy a battalion of tanks on Sinai’s border with the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian hotbed ruled by the fundamentalist Hamas movement, to prevent infiltration.
Egyptian forces have also destroyed dozens of underground tunnels between the southern Gaza town of Rafah and Egyptian Sinai, used by Hamas to smuggle in weapons and to infiltrate militants into the increasingly turbulent peninsula that links North Africa with Asia.
It’s about time!
Al Jazeera’s employees are quitting in droves. Our grand MSM should take notes!
Next week, we may hear that the unemployment rate is gone up to 25% because of 10 million MSM employees quit over their companies lying for the last 50 years!
