BBC's war coverage crisis: Over 1,500 editorial guidelines breached

The BBC has violated its own editorial guidelines over 1,500 times since the onset of the Israel-Hamas war, according to a report by The Telegraph.

This comprehensive study examined four months of the BBC’s coverage, including content across television, radio, online news, podcasts, and social media. A team of around 20 lawyers and data scientists analyzed nine million words of BBC output, using artificial intelligence to identify patterns.

The investigation revealed a "deeply worrying pattern of bias against Israel," with Israel being linked to genocide 14 times more frequently than Hamas. In total, 1,553 breaches were found, spanning issues of impartiality, accuracy, and public interest. The research also highlighted how the BBC repeatedly downplayed Hamas terrorism while portraying Israel as a "militaristic and aggressive nation.
