Al Jazeera channel losing staff over 'bias' on Syria

[Du$ty]

Al Jazeera's Beirut news bureau is currently losing key staff due to 'bias' in the channel's stance on the conflict in Syria.
According to Al Akhbar, the bureau's managing director, Hassan Shaaban reportedly resigned last week after leaked emails revealed his frustrations over the news channel's coverage of Syria, according to a source within the television network.
RT reported that a source told the Lebanese paper Al Akhbar that Al Jazeera’s Beirut correspondent Ali Hashem had quit over the channel’s stance on covering events in Syria.
A source apparently told the Lebanese press that "… his position [which] changed after the station refused to show photos he had taken of armed fighters clashing with the Syrian Army in Wadi Khaled. Instead [Al Jazeera] lambasted him as a shabeeh (implying a regime loyalist).”
The newspaper advised that Ali Hashem was also infuriated by Al Jazeera’s refusal to cover a crackdown by the King of Bahrain while twisting its Syria angle.
“[In Bahrain], we were seeing pictures of a people being butchered by the 'Gulf's oppression machine', and for Al Jazeera, silence was the name of the game,” he said.
