Attorney Trevor Asserson highlighted the “fundamental problem” behind the BBC’s anti-Israel bias.
Asserson led the review into the BBC’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war which found the news network had breached its own editorial guidelines 1,553 times during the four-month period beginning October 7, 2023. The report also found BBC reporting had associated Israel with genocide 14 times more (283 versus 19) than it had the terrorist group Hamas.
“I think what is really behind these breaches, and they are systemic breaches, is a total management failure to control their journalists at the BBC,” Asserson told Sky News Australia.
