When are they just going to hand the keys of Broadcasting House to the remaining Hamas leaders and just have it done with?
As a previous report found, the BBC breached its own editorial guidelines some 1500 times, in its ‘reporting’ of the Gaza war. Not only did the BBC repeatedly adopt an aggressively anti-Israel stance, but its reporters on its Arabic channel frequently openly supported terrorism, specifically Hamas. Meanwhile, despite promising to accurately describe Hamas as a terrorist organisation, the BBC actually did so in just 3.2 per cent of 12,459 mentions.
Now, the BBC has been caught out giving sympathetic airtime to Hamas members and their families. Ofcom, the British media regulator, is investigating.
The broadcaster removed the program, “Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone,” from its streaming service in February after it emerged that the 13-year-old narrator, Abdullah, is the son of Ayman Alyazouri, who has worked as Hamas’s deputy minister of agriculture.
Ofcom, the media regulator, said that it was launching an investigation under rules that state factual programs must not materially mislead the audience.
The BBC remains firmly in denial of its anti-Israel bias.
The review, conducted by the corporation’s director of editorial complaints, found no other breaches of editorial guidelines, including impartiality. There was no evidence of “outside interests” impacting on the program, it said.
Earlier this year, U.K. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy questioned why no one at the BBC had lost their job over the program’s airing.
But even the BBC’s blatant bias isn’t sufficiently anti-Israel enough to satisfy the baying mobs of Jew-hating leftists.
Directors Ken Loach and Mike Leigh and actor Riz Ahmed were among 500 media figures who signed a letter published by Artists for Palestine UK saying a “political” campaign to discredit the program risked dehumanizing Palestinian voices in the media […]
Separately, more than 100 BBC journalists wrote a letter to [the broadcaster’s Director-General Tim Davie] earlier this month criticizing its decision not to air another documentary, “Gaza: Medics Under Fire.” They expressed concerns that the broadcaster wasn’t reporting “‘without fear or favor’ when it comes to Israel.”
We knew that already, though. The BBC is grotesquely biased… against Israel.
No doubt the lefty luvvies won’t be satisfied until the BBC runs an uncritical double-bill of Theresienstadt and The Eternal Jew. For good measure, the left would no doubt be pleased if the Beeb adopted The Protocols of the Elders of Zion as its editorial guideline.
