The BBC has often been the subject of criticism about its reporting on the Middle East.
Now this:
"The BBC does not "consistently give a full and fair account" when it comes to covering the Middle East conflict, a British report published on Tuesday charges.
The report, ordered by the BBC to examine claims of bias, was prepared by five independent figures.
The evidence examined points to the "elusiveness of editorial planning, grip and oversight," the report said. "In short, we found that BBC output does not consistently give a full and fair account of the conflict. In some ways the picture is incomplete and, in that sense, misleading."
Overall, the report said, there was stronger evidence of pro-Israel bias compared to pro-Palestinian bias."
