"Most recently, the BBC has also confronted detailed and outraged criticism from its own members of staff"
" ... an email that was sent on 24 October by a BBC correspondent based in Beirut, Rami Ruhayem, to the Director General of the BBC, Tim Davie, voicing ‘the gravest possible concerns’ about BBC coverage of unfolding events in Gaza"
It does appear to be true that the BBC coverage is coming under fire from both sides, so are they achieving that elusive "balance" that is said to be the hallmark of their reporting?
My guess is that in wartime, "balance" and "impartiality" are inevitably impossible to achieve for everyone, and reporting of the complex origins of the situation in a succinct but accurate manner almost as difficult, but whether the BBC is actually making a fair attempt may be a question worth asking.
It's your viewpoint that counts.
