It's a given that most media organization harbour an anti-Israel bias. Sometimes it's quite subtle, but in other cases it's quite open and obvious. Such is the case with the BBC, whose bias is so extreme that it hired an ombudsman to investigate the bias, and then presumably because it didn't like what he found, successfully suppressed his findings (the Balen Report, which no one outside the upper echelon of the BBC has ever seen).
Honest Reporting has just completed a year-long analysis of the BBC coverage of Israel and shockingly, the study revealed that "The Beeb" demonstrated a clear anti-Israel orientation: http://www.honestreporting.com/articles/45884734/critiques/new/One_Year_Analysis_The_BBC_in_2007.asp. What a stunning development. I just wish that someone could "steal" a copy of the Balen Report, so that I could read for myself how the BBC recognized its own bias................
