The main Associated Press reporter in Gaza covering the war was suspended from his duties while the wire service looks into his previous social media posts, which include comments calling for the "fall" of Israel and comparing the world's only Jewish state to Nazis.
Issam Adwan has made numerous comments against Israel, which were highlighted last week by Honest Reporting, an Israel media watchdog.
In an October 2022 post on X, formerly Twitter, Adwan said that Israel was a "racist regime that is so similar to the Nazis." The post has since been deleted.
I didn't know who the ap's main reporter in Gaza was but figured it wouldn't be anyone named Smith or Jones. Exactly what did they expect from someone named Issam Adwan?

The anti US stance of AP is also explained by this.

Just suspended? Why isn’t he fired? As Don Surber calls it, “the Hamas loving AP”.

... and the Associated Press did not already know this about their star reporter? Of course they did and had no issue with it.

Suspended. Probably will be back getting paid Monday.
If a reporter had supported gun rights, or Trump....he'd have been fired.

The Associated Press USED TO BE the most accurate and unbiased of all news media. Now it's a garbage operation with almost nothing but one-sided "reporting." I would not trust anything they say.

Scratch a Muslim and what do you find? A Muslim! A hating, self-pitying, argumentative, troublemaking blood thirsty Muslim. They never change.

More of the media scrambling to temporarily silence their Muslim, Jew hating brethren.

This is probably a stupid question, but don’t news organizations look into the writings and rantings of employees and prospective employees? As an editor I would certainly want to know if an employee had a biased outlook on news. If one cannot report without bias they’re not a journalist, they are an opinion writer.

I recall an article some time back where the AP offices in Gaza were damaged by a missile strike on the same building they share with Hamas.
More than just bed-buddies, they are.

AP is not a ‘News’ organization. They are a print version of CNN or MSNBC. They’re democrat cheerleaders now.

Fire him for spouting his opinion on instead of reporting the news. He'll find a good job working for Al Jazeera.

Islam overrides and hates all other races, religions and beliefs as well as decency and common sense. Other than that, it's the religion of peace.

CNN's famous war slut, Christiane Amanpour, built a long career out of supporting muslims of all sorts across the world and blaming their problems on the Jews.

@12, the bias doesn't matter if it aligns with the organization's. The wordsmithing comes in the eventual mealy-mouthed non-apology apology when enough pressure comes to bear.

If a few of these middle eastern reporters were Jewish or even perhaps of European background there might, or might not, be more balanced reporting. If you have Muslim or middle eastern nationals reporting don't be surprised if they side with the Muslims and the Middle Eastern sentiments. I don't hold these people as false they are true to their side of the conflict. Few people can maintain independence of thought regarding Israel. I admit to being prejudiced for Israel, while recognizing that they are human like everybody else and prone to sin. If you lived for seventy years under constant threat of annihilation by several hundred million people who clamor for your death and destruction you might become hardened and prone to react violently to any attacks.
