“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’”.

    Haha I remember when the BBC “accidentally” mistranslated Musharaf saying “We require nuclear weapons for deterrence” to “God has commanded us to make the nuclear bomb”.

    Actually now that I think about it, the BBC lies alot. Like not even bias, I mean full fledged misinformation sometimes.
