Fox Latin America has apologized for a poll on whether Jews killed Jesus Christ that one of its staffers put on a Facebook page promoting the National Geographic Channel’s Christmas special.
This is ridiculous. National geographic can run a special about it but Fox news can't have a poll on the subject? I wish they hadn't apologized and instead added a poll asking "are jews overly sensitive about every little thing?"

It's a matter of historical accuracy.
Historians have known for a long time what certain Fundamentalist Christians (among others who enjoy fanning the flames) just refuse to accept: - the Romans killed Jesus, and the Gospels portray an extremely biased and false picture.
Fox is not exactly known for it's 'objectivity'....
It just depends on who you ask as to who ordered Jesus' execution. But Christians believe it was ultimately God's plan. Pontius Pilate
I very much dislike Fox "so-called-news" and can't imagine any reason for having a "Who killed Jesus" poll other than to stir up strife which they are wont to do.
FNC news is, by all tests and measure, far more objective and unbiased than MSNBC, CNN, and any of the old-time MSM.
I want some of whatever you've been smoking.

Since its 1996 launch, Fox has become a central hub of the conservative movement's well-oiled media machine. Together with the GOP organization and its satellite think tanks and advocacy groups, this network of fiercely partisan outlets--such as the Washington Times, the Wall Street Journal editorial page and conservative talk-radio shows like Rush Limbaugh's--forms a highly effective right-wing echo chamber where GOP-friendly news stories can be promoted, repeated and amplified.
A self-described liberal media watchdog group, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), in consultation with the Survey and Evaluation Research Laboratory at Virginia Commonwealth University, sponsored an academic study in which journalists were asked a range of questions about how they did their work and about how they viewed the quality of media coverage in the broad area of politics and economic policy. “They were asked for their opinions and views about a range of recent policy issues and debates. Finally, they were asked for demographic and identifying information, including their political orientation”. They then compared to the same or similar questions posed with “the public” based on Gallup, and Pew Trust polls.[27] Their study concluded that a majority of journalists, although relatively liberal on social policies, were significantly to the right of the public on economic, labor, health care and foreign policy issues.
This study continues: “we learn much more about the political orientation of news content by looking at sourcing patterns rather than journalists' personal views. As this survey shows, it is government officials and business representatives to whom journalists "nearly always" turn when covering economic policy. Labor representatives and consumer advocates were at the bottom of the list. This is consistent with earlier research on sources. For example, analysts from the centrist Brookings Institution and conservative think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute are those most quoted in mainstream news accounts; liberal think tanks are often invisible. When it comes to sources, ‘liberal bias’ is nowhere to be found.”
