“The Contempt For The Work Of Journalists Was Laid Bare”: NUJ Slams Israeli Government Spokesman For “Abusive” & Hypocritical Interview With BBC’s Mishal Husain
The NUJ has slammed Israeli government spokesman David Mencer over a BBC Mishal Husain Today appearance during which he accused the BBC of bias.
The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has condemned an Israeli government spokesman for a BBC interview during which he accused presenter Mishal Husain of warranting being made “pro-Palestinian reporter of the year.” Mencer was speaking with Husain following an air strike on a school building in Gaza that was sheltering displaced people, which killed more than 70, according to the director of a nearby hospital. The union went on to call Husain a “consummate professional.” She has fronted many such interviews since October 7 during a time that the BBC has struggled to keep its coverage clear of criticism from both sides.
