Al Jazeera's coverage of events in Syria has of course been completely one sided and untrue (see post on Al Jazeera broadcasting faked images). It's no surprise that some of their staff have finally decided that they do not wish to be associated with unadulterated propaganda so blatant and shameless that it would make the directors of North Korean State TV blush.
The channel's reporting bears no reflection on what is actually happening on the ground. The Qatari regime appears to be using it as a tool in their attempts to bring down Assad's secular regime.
The fact that BBC staff and those of other Western news organisations haven't resigned over their equally biased coverage doesn't say much for the integrity and professionalism of Western journalists.
