*In 2015, a former Al Jazeera America exec sued the network. Shannon High-Bassalik said she was fired for being in "default" of her contract for being an "ineffective leader" and not getting along with others. High-Bassalik alleged that the Al Jazeera network promoted only Middle Eastern and Arabic viewpoints, at one point even invoking conspiracy theories such as that the [[911]] attacks were conducted by the CIA. And 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."

 

Her 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.<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>
