Fox Latin America is in hot water after an employee posted a Facebook poll asking readers who they thought killed Jesus. The options were (a) Pontius Pilate; (b) the Jewish people; or (c) the high priests. The poll was meant to promote National Geographic Channel's Christmas special. The Simon Wiesenthal Center in Buenos Aires protested the poll, accusing Fox of perpetuating a defamatory idea that has "resulted in the persecution and murder of Jews for two millennia." A Fox spokeswoman apologized, and said the poll was removed immediately.
