Sadly it seems like this is indicative of a broader trend in Public Broadcast in the west. In Australia we've seen similar internal criticism of the ABC of an anti-palestinian bias in reporting[1].

It's deeply concerning that these publicly funded media outlets are being co-opted and manipulated by a foreign power.

You leapt to at least 3 conclusions in only two sentences. That's talent.

1. "The world" is too broad of an audience to indict.

2. "Anywhere else" does not necessitate the endless support of a rogue state.

3. Israeli statehood is a Zionist matter with a highly mixed opinion among Jews (especially under the current Likud admin).
