Two things. First, I’m listening to a BBC where Jeremy Bowen comes out and describes the utter devastation that Israel has wrought on Palestine, where they get aid workers, UN diplomats, campaigners, legal experts and all sorts to come on and do interview after interview in which they lay out exactly what Israel has done, why they are war crimes, and what the evidence is.

Second, I don’t need a news organisation to tell me that Netanyahu is an evil murder to draw that conclusion myself from the factual reporting they already do. Seems like nor do you.

I don’t think their reporting is perfect, but one thing I do know is that the times I remember people complaining about their reporting in the past, those people put forward something far more biased as a better option. The BBC is at least trying to be impartial. Yeah, their language could be a bit tougher but at the end of the day it’s not the presence or absence of tough language which makes the difference here: it’s whether you report the facts as best as it’s possible to discern them.
