Shownotes Transcript

Kevin O'Sullivan is joined by Simon London and Samara Gill to discuss the BBC's alleged bias, particularly its anti-Israel stance, citing a report that claims the BBC breached its impartiality rules over 1,500 times during Gaza coverage. They criticise the BBC for giving extensive airtime to anti-Israel figures like the Ayatollah Khamenei and for not labelling Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorists. The conversation also touches on the BBC's perceived left-wing bias and its coverage of the Brexit debate. Additionally, they mention the BBC's platforming of Hamas leaders and the challenges of balancing media bias against Muslim and Jewish communities. Hosted on Acast.
