"Globes" analysis shows that al-Jazeera proved in Operation Eitan that it is light years away from objective coverage. For example, on Sunday, Al-Jazeera surfers were informed that a Hamas rocket landed at Ben Gurion Airport, and that an Israeli tank was destroyed in Gaza.</blockquote></ref>

*In 2015, a former Al Jazeera America exec sued the network. High-Bassalik said she was fired for being in "default" of her contract for being an "ineffective leader" and not getting along with others.<ref>Hadas Gold, [https://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2015/06/former-al-jazeera-america-exec-sues-network-208679 Former Al Jazeera America exec sues network], ''Politico'', Jun 11, 2015.<blockquote>
Another former Al Jazeera America employee — this time a former executive — is suing the network.
Shannon High-Bassalik, former senior vice president for programming and documentaries, is suing the company and former CEO Ehab Al Shihabi for breach of contract and violating her civil rights.
In her lawsuit, High-Bassalik, who has also worked at CNN, MSNBC and NBC, alleges the network promoted only Middle Eastern and Arabic viewpoints, at one point even invoking conspiracy theories such as that the Sept. 11 attacks were conducted by the CIA. High-Bassalik said the network had abandoned "journalistic objectivity."
High-Bassalik also alleges that non-Arabic and female employees were treated as "second class citizens." Arabic employees were routinely given inflated performance reviews and promoted to jobs they were not qualified for, High-Bassalik alleges. Al Shihabi would often exclude female employees from meetings and would "leave meetings where female employees were giving presentations and [state] that he would only return when such employees had stopped speaking."
The lawsuit also alleges that the company's management promoted an anti-Israel bias, and when employees tried to counter the messages, they were told they were too biased in favor of the country.
High-Bassalik said she was fired for being in "default" of her contract for being an "ineffective leader" and not getting along with others.</blockquote></ref>
