Alistair Campbell, co-presenter of the 'Rest is Politics' podcast said: "All too
often, on domestic issues, the BBC's response to criticism from the right is to
accept rather than challenge it and adapt coverage accordingly. This is perhaps
best understood in the context of the incessant drumbeat of anti-BBC sentiment
in a commercially and politically motivated right-wing press. But we see the
same pattern in some of its approach to international issues too, notably Israel
and Palestine. The Israelis and the right-wing media do a very good job of
persuading people that the BBC is biased in favour of Palestinians. This report
suggests otherwise... at the leadership level, there seems to be a bias not
against Israel but in favour of its talking points and the defence of its
actions."
