I realize this is somewhat late, but I just got forwarded the e-mail and I thought it was interesting enough to share. MediaBistro says that Karadsheh was Fox's inside source at the Saddam trial, and has also worked for CNN. See the letter after the jump-



Subject: Morally we can no longer work with you
Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2006 09:30:05 +0000


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 mongerers with no sense of decency, and
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 to 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 tool
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
