BIAS, BULLSHIT, COWARDICE
"Haaretz gave considerable space to the BBC's findings yesterday. I'm not surprised. But why is it that Haaretz's top correspondents – Amira Hass and Gideon Levy – write so much more courageously about the human rights abuses of Israeli troops (and war crimes) than the BBC has ever dared to do? Whenever I'm asked by lecture audiences around the world if they should trust the BBC, I tell them to trust Amira and Gideon more than they should ever believe in the wretched broadcasting station. I'm afraid it's the same old story. If you allow yourself to bow down before those who wish you to deviate from the truth, you will stay on your knees forever."
(Robert Fisk)

The BBC Trust upheld a complaint by a Zionist organisation alleging bias on the part of its Middle East editor, Jeremy Bowen. In this case bias = truth. The BBC is expected to broadcast Zionist propaganda, and does so on a regular basis. Jeremy Bowen is a marked man.
