Al Jazeera America bans F-bomb words in newsroom

Al Jazeera America news chiefs have declared a fatwa against using the F-bomb in the newsroom.

One staffer who had just joined the network from a place where saucy language is commonly used learned the hard way after loudly swearing in Al Jazeera's office in Midtown, the New York Post reports.

A source said that the employee was heard using the F-word, and was immediately reprimanded. The employee was told that swearing is not part of the Al Jazeera culture, the report added.
