“More than 100 BBC employees are accusing the corporation of providing favourable coverage toward Israel and are calling on the broadcaster to ‘recommit to fairness, accuracy, and impartiality’ over its reporting on Gaza.

“In a letter sent to Tim Davie, signed by more than 230 members of the media industry, including 101 anonymous BBC staff, the corporation is criticised for failing its own editorial standards by lacking ‘consistently fair and accurate evidence-based journalism in its coverage of Gaza’”.

    Laughable. These are the kind of people who wouldn’t be happy unless the coverage was 100% pro-Palestinian.

    The BBC and Sky regularly report on the destruction caused by Israel in Gaza and show the people involved and injuries incurred. Do you think that is “pro-Israel”?
