BBC News CEO Deborah Turness: Critics Of Israel-Gaza Output Are Stuck In Online Echo Chambers
BBC News CEO Deborah Turness hits back at critics of British broadcaster's Israel-Gaza output, suggesting they're stuck in online echo chambers.
In a blog post marking the anniversary of Hamas’ October 7 atrocities, Turness appeared to hit back at a barrage of complaints from the UK’s Jewish community about perceived anti-Israel bias. Examples included the October 17 episode of BBC News channel show The Context, during which reporter Jon Donnison speculated that Israel was behind the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital bombing. This includes the BBC apologizing after the news channel described people taking part in marches in support of Palestine as backing Hamas, and for repeatedly overstating the October 7 death toll.
