This has just come out on Spotted:Bradfords Page. couldnt share so copy & paste job. One of the followers has been in touch with the Biased Broadcasting Corporation regarding their heavily biased reporting on the situation in Gaza. He asked us to share this reply with all of you. -------------------------------------------- Having complained about the disproportionate coverage over the Israel and Palestinian conflict and pro Israel journalism the BBC advocates, heres the reply I got from the BBC.... Dear Mr Sharif Thank you for your contact. We understand you feel coverage of the deaths of three Israeli teenagers has shown pro-Israeli bias. We have received a wide range of feedback about our coverage of this story across our television and radio programmes and the BBC News website. In order to use our TV licence fee resources efficiently, this response aims to answer the key concerns, but we apologise in advance if it doesn’t address your specific points in the manner you would prefer. BBC News has reported on Israel’s actions in the West Bank and Gaza following the killing of three Israeli teenagers. Reports on the BBC News Channel and during BBC One’s main news bulletins have detailed the series of mass arrests of Palestinians carried out by Israel. BBC radio and television news bulletins reported on the death of Ahmad Fahnawi, who was shot by Israeli security forces in Nablus, and on other deaths following clashes between armed Israeli troops and Palestinian protestors in the West Bank. We have also reported on the kidnapping and murder of Mohammed Abu Khdair and of the alleged beating of his cousin Tariq Khdair by Israeli police. Across our coverage we have heard from those who believe Israel’s response has been too aggressive and amounts to collective punishment of the Palestinians, as well as from those who disagree. We have reported on the subsequent air strikes and deaths in Gaza, on Israel’s continuing blockade of the strip and on the resulting socio-economic deprivation. BBC News has reported extensively on the wider aspects of the conflict; on the occupation, building of settlements, the impasse in negotiations and the decreasing likelihood of a two state solution. We believe we have reported on these issues in a fair and impartial manner. Please be assured we raised your concerns with senior editorial staff at BBC News. Thank you again for taking the time to contact us. Kind Regards BBC Complaints
