the biased, unquestioning platform the Corp. has given to the Israeli Govt.?
This is not what happens every day on BBC radio. This is an example of the kind of questioning I hear every day. I don't think people calling the BBC biased are actually listening to the coverage. And I'll say again, the Louis Allday tweet above is absurd. it's odd because there ARE some examples of things that come across as pro israeli bias on the BBC, and this tweet actually undermines that case. As in wonder society, there will be people at the BBC with bias both ways, and selective examples have been used to make both cases.

Glad if they’ve now stopped giving Israel a pass on whatever they say, but the damage has been done and is measured in thousands of innocent lives lost. Hundreds of millions of people, if not billions, around the world refer to the BBC for news, so it’s not just UK public sentiment that has been affected by this. Whether actual unbiased reporting by the BBC since day 0 would have changed enough people’s minds to save thousands of lives is ultimately unknowable, but they made conscious choices to disregard their duty to tell truth as objectively as possible.

I’ve read through the comments twice thinking I’ve missed something. Have you folks forgotten there’s been people at the BBC having actual mental breakdowns because of the biased, unquestioning platform the Corp. has given to the Israeli Govt.? I’m unsure if that has changed in the past 2 or 3 weeks, but that’s been their attitude over the majority of this recent stage of the conflict.
