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”.
In 2006, shortly after this study was published, research commissioned by the BBC’s Board of Governors and carried out by Loughborough University confirmed many of its key findings. In addition, the BBC’s independent panel report highlighted the corporation’s “failure to convey adequately the disparity in the Israeli and Palestinian experience, reflecting the fact that one side is in control and the other lives under occupation” and stressed the BBC’s need “to fill in the gaps, most obviously in respect of context and history”.
Despite this, emerging research on BBC reporting since 7 October 2023 has produced similar findings, such as a lack of historical context, and differential use of language in relation to Palestinian and Israeli victims. Imbalances in coverage appear to be a long and consistent feature of BBC reporting.

They are most definitely bias. They’re only changing their tune now after months of pressure and because the government, since Lammy visited, is changing their tune too.
This isn’t their first explicit bias either:
So, on the objective evidence presented here, the mainstream TV coverage of the first year of the independence referendum campaigns has not been fair or balanced. Taken together, we have evidence of coverage which seems likely to have damaged the Yes campaign.

Except by definition it is a democracy.
Barely.

That’s why you should drink Glucozade Port!
Seemingly, the Senate didn’t mind their power withering away under a domineering autocrat so long as they didn’t have to share power with the poors!

At the time of writing the small size is sold out
Have no choice sounds very similar to “just following orders”. They all have free will, they all have a choice.
American cops can shoot people in cold blood and get away with it, do you honestly believe they wouldn’t get away with choosing not to zip tie disabled people?
What’s that? An excuse to post one of my favourite videos? Don’t mind if I do!

Nazi in Chief was a vegetarian, so there’s that. Whether there’s anything beyond that I dunno, I’m not OP nor German, but I would doubt it

But why? News agencies can do that if they wish, for the viewers, but why would a government agency releasing video evidence touch it up in any way? That’s just asking for questions.

Have you considered installing the roundabouts anyway and removing the driving licences of those incapable of manoeuvring around a simple roundabout?
Driving is not a right. If they can’t perform simple manoeuvres without endangering others, they shouldn’t be controlling a machine that can easily accidentally kill.
“It is now nearly £10 million for a door which does not work. Somebody accountable must be identified and should perhaps resign for this terrible waste of public money,” he said.
Meanwhile, Conservative Peer Lord Hayward estimated that the costs incurred from ensuring the door was manned at all times — in order to be opened — amounted to roughly £2,500 (€2,890) per week.
£2,500 x 52 weeks = £130,000 a year.
But there’s no money for disabled people. Gotta tighten the purse strings, sorry! Have you tried pulling yourself up by your boot straps?
It’s definitely Muslamic
Don’t make their job easier for them. Fuck them! Health is wealth.
The state need not kill those that killing themselves
Don’t make it an easy job for 'em
The killing of kids with £2 chicken and chips
Is a tactic of war, waged on the poor
Can’t save wages on slave wages
And you don’t think fresh fruit with your face on the floor
Nah, you need money for the kids
Rent and light plus food in the fridge
But that last box can be the hardest tick
'Cause scraps will suffice but they might make you sick
As a child I used to chow take out
Twenty-four hours later skin break out
Felt so heavy with it sitting in my belly
Dessert was a sugar coated candy jelly
Fam that’s pig meat. Mashing up the kidney
Make sure no government has to kill me
I was killing myself till I realised danger
Brain, heart, liver and lungs can hit failure
Now season daal and veg with fresh herbs
Cut caffeine because it messed with nerves
Plenty lentils and chickpea curry
20 minute meal for a man in a hurry
That’s real fast food that won’t break the bank
With enough nutrients to fill the tank
Drink water for the body’s natural power
But water from taps can taste sour
Food deserts are designed to starve us
No fresh produce but we’ve got Starbucks
Calories packed in treats to enlarge us
May not see the effects but the heart does
Can’t breathe, can’t sleep, can’t run
Casomorphin wreaks havoc on the lungs
Just like fizzy wreaks havoc on the gums
And my old man said diabetes ain’t fun
Ginger root is good for the youts
Blend it up and share a fresh juice
Burn sage, cleanse the room
Body is a temple, don’t let it be a tomb
The food you choose to consume can damage
Processed meats intestines can’t manage
Cattle farming still killing off the planet
And it tells us everyday that it can’t stand it
Earth getting hotter while the sea levels rise
All because you want burger with those fries
All because you want milkshake with the meal
Then to combat diarrhoea you take pills
What’s the deal? Eat right, stay active
Stay strong 'cause the revolution is real
Never know when a man might have to dash
And a pig can’t kill what a pig can’t catch
It’s more than just eating right, it’s survival
Rasta man tell the youts eat Ital
Daily exercise, fresh air is vital
Whether you short walk, run or take cycle
Meditate to live life and love it
Plus stress increases acid in stomachs
Read and chill to keep the mental covered
And when you find struggle, try rise above it
I find peace in the books on the shelf
Food on the stove while it cooks I can smell
It’s gonna be good by the looks I can tell
And it won’t put my body through hell, well
Well, I want strength like Phelps
Good practises and discipline helps
Not for the six-pack, I do it for myself
'Cause it’s true what they say your health is wealth
Be healthy, be strong, alright
Oh by the way, remember you are a gift to yourself and a gift to your environment
Continue to be that beautiful gift
Share that gift in your food, and all your gastronomic mastery
Sweet, ta! I listened to The History of Rome a few years ago so I’ll check this one out.
Aye, true progress was being made and that couldn’t be allowed to happen. Germany’s Blitzkrieg tactics were practised on Spain before they began their expansion.
I tried but I have an unfortunate case of bees in my brain so I didn’t finish it. Need to give it another go. The portion that I read was interesting though!
