Neither “Fair” Nor “Balanced”
By Omar Mirza

Fox News covered the eviction of a Jewish family from its home in Gaza by the unarmed soldiers of the Israeli Defense Forces after the deadline for voluntary departure had expired. They showed footage of a settler family crying as its members were gently escorted out of their home. Later, the head of the family was interviewed on the channel. He said that terrorism would increase as a result of the withdrawal.
I wonder why Fox News has never shown the demolition of Palestinian homes and the tears of the Palestinian families when they are rendered homeless. This is journalism at its worst. It is contrary to the Fox news slogan and is neither “fair”, nor “balanced”.
