'Swearing is not part of the Al Jazeera culture.”

The New York Post is reporting that there's been a ban ("fatwa," as the Post puts it) placed on the f-word within the walls of the Al Jazeera America newsroom.

“[An] employee was heard using the F-word, and was immediately reprimanded," a source reportedly told the Post. "The employee was told that swearing is not part of the Al Jazeera culture.”

We've requested comment from Al Jazeera America.
