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.

Sorry, that was supposed to say “a few” not “you few”, dunno how I managed that.
