As the war in Israel moves into its second week, a major broadcaster has launched an “urgent” probe into its own journalists for their apparent reporting bias in favor of Muslim terrorists.
The network is the BBC, the British Broadcasting Corporation, which, according to the Telegraph newspaper in London, is focusing on six reporters and a freelancer accused of anti-Israel bias.
A BBC spokesman said: “We are urgently investigating this matter. We take allegations of breaches of our editorial and social media guidelines with the utmost seriousness, and if and when we find breaches we will act, including taking disciplinary action.”
The investigation comes amid calls for the broadcaster to call Hamas “terrorists,” instead of a “militant group.”
As WND reported a week ago, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, or CBC, also reportedly instructed its journalists not to refer to Hamas attackers as “terrorists.”
The Telegraph noted BBC reporters “appeared to justify the killing of Israeli civilians by Hamas” after “social media activity by several of its journalists in the Middle East appeared to celebrate the attack which left approximately 1,300 dead.”
