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.

It's possible to believe that both October 7th and the subsequent genocide of Palestinians are horrific.

It's the duty of the press to report on these horrors in an unbiased and impartial manner.

Yes, you are exactly right and I salute you for posting this. I believe the vast majority would say both of your thoughts here. Stop attacks and genocide on all. Hamas was awful on Oct 7, and the attacks on the innocent in Gaza, they are starving them are also.
