A new report from the Center for Media Monitoring has laid bare the biases in #BBC reporting of Israel’s war on Gaza. Among the key findings from the study, which analyzed an incredible 35,000 pieces of BBC news content (articles, interviews, #TV clips, etc.) were:
Israeli casualties received 33 times the coverage as Palestinian ones.
Emotive words like “murder” or “massacre” were frequently used to describe Israeli deaths, but rarely Palestinian ones.
The BBC interviewed twice as many Israeli guests as Palestinians, and were 11 times as likely to give viewers the Israeli perspective.
On more than 100 occasions, BBC anchors tried to shut down guests claiming that Israel was carrying out a genocide.
The BBC, of course, is not a neutral actor, but a one-sided, pro-Israel organization. Its online Middle East editor, is, by his own admission, a former #CIA employee and #Mossad “collaborator.” For more on that story, see the investigation:
