BBC bias broadens

Even the BBC has as much as admitted, through its appointment of a Middle East ombudsman, that its coverage of the Middle East leaves much to be desired. Many Brits are convinced the channel -- which, do not forget, is publicly owned and is supposed to stay strictly impartial -- tilts systematically to the Left in its coverage of Britain itself. Now, an independent report ordered by the corporation concludes that

The BBC's coverage of the European Union is not deliberately biased, but "needs to be improved and to be made more demonstrably impartial"... It blamed ignorance of the EU among journalists, a tendency to polarise and oversimplify issues and the corporation's institutional mindset for "cultural and unintentional bias" in BBC news.

The panel's report confirmed that the BBC is systematically in favour of the EU and excludes anti-EU voices.
Clearly, the BBC has a particular problem with political bias which pervades all areas of its reporting, not just Israel. Activists who wish to change its Middle Eastern coverage might be better off getting together with other 'victims' of its bias to push for a more wholesale reform, and seeing the problem in its wider context.
