The BBC has been accused by more than 100 of its staff of giving Israel favourable coverage in its reporting of the war on Gaza and criticised its lack of “accurate evidence-based journalism”.
“The consequences of inadequate coverage are significant. Every television report, article and radio interview that has failed to robustly challenge Israeli claims has systematically dehumanised Palestinians,” the letter said.
First reported by The Independent newspaper on Friday, the signatories included more than 100 anonymous BBC staff and more than 200 from the media industry, as well as historians, actors, academics and politicians.
“The consequences of inadequate coverage are significant. Every television report, article and radio interview that has failed to robustly challenge Israeli claims has systematically dehumanised Palestinians,” the letter said.
TVNL Comment: The bias of the media, in the UK and the US in particular, has contributed to the unbridled cruelty of the IDF in Gaza, the West Bank, and now in Lebanon. The war against Palestinians has gone on for decades, and now has escalated into an overt and unapologetic genocide. Kudos to the BBC staff and others who are standing up against the dehumanization and deaths of so many innocent civilians.
