Four journalists of the Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera News and its affiliate in Egypt have resigned from their posts in protest against the channel's policies.

According to Gulf News, other Egyptian senior employees in the Doha-based headquarters are preparing to leave the channel for the same reasons.

The report said that the reason has been attributed to biased coverage by the channel that journalists consider out of sync with real events in Egypt.

At the beginning of July 8, Al Jazeera Egypt Live saw 22 members of staff resign over what they alleged was biased coverage of the events in Egypt by the Qatari broadcaster, the report added.
