A petition calling for the ouster of an MSNBC news reporter for allegedly providing biased coverage of events in Israel has exceeded its goal of 5,000 signatures in just two days.
Ayman Mohyeldin was widely criticized for his live on air report on Friday saying that Israeli police had brutally killed an unarmed Palestinian man who ignored police orders to stop after he crossed a security barrier. Footage displayed onscreen during Moheyldin’s report clearly showed the dead Palestinian terrorist holding a knife in his hand, with a studio anchor interrupting Mohyeldin to inform him that footage clearly disproving his version of what had transpired just moments before.
The Egyptian born Moheyldin has previously worked for both Al Jazeera and CNN and has been accused on several occasions of filing fallacious reports that faulted Israelis. Both Breitbart and Fox News slammed Moheyldin for his unbalanced coverage of events in the Middle East, including a July 2014 report that Israel had bombed a Gaza hospital, killing civilians and another where he faulted the United States government for its lack of support of Hamas and its inability to exercise tighter control over Israel.
The petition on Change.org describes Moheyldin’s coverage for NBC as “misleading and inaccurate” and asked NBC to fire the controversial journalist in an effort to “have him stop poisoning the minds of the less informed.”
Having surpassed its goal of 5,000 signatures in just two days, petition creator Ben Lieblich of New York set a new goal this afternoon of 7,500 signatures which was met within a matter of hours and the petition has been changed again to relfect a new goal of 10,000 signatures calling for Moheyldin’s removal.

they got alot of responses for that petition. keep it going. It also shows the world that we are together and theres a good amount of us on the same page.
So if he was unarmed when he was dead, then they killed a dead man…
This was perfect, it’s clear he’s lying
You can make a difference! Please send to all of your friends!
You are asking the network that gave Al Sharpton his own daily show to fire a reporter?

this was very nice! the guy was caught and the live correction
if we have to fire someone is the ALL NBC, the All NY Times etc etc
Fire the reporter?
The entire international news reporting infrastructure is corrupt beyond repair. Even fox news is broken when times gets really tough (recall Fox became more and more anti as the most recent Gaza conflict when on). The only reason for this up in arms is because Fox news did a segment and yukels passed it around on whatsapp like it was a metzia. You are feeding the beast. Fox is the best among scoundrels.
Keep this guy, he is an idiot and will likely be caught again. Better have this guy who does not know how hide his bias than having him replaced with someone who can.
He clearly states ‘we were lying’
At minute 1:33

keeps stumbling and trying to cover his sick lie!
LIAR!
