The story TV news won't tell
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/business/story/0,6903,1242833,00.html
For 10 years Tim Llewellyn was the BBC's Middle East correspondent. In
this passionately argued polemic he accuses British broadcasters,
including his former employer, of systematic bias in covering the
Arab-Israeli conflict, giving undue prominence to the views of
Jerusalem while disregarding the roots of the crisis
Sunday June 20, 2004
The Observer
Since the Palestinians began their armed uprising against Israel's
military occupation three years and eight months ago, British
television and radio's reporting of it has been, in the main,
dishonest - in concept, approach and execution.
In my judgment as a journalist and Middle East specialist, the
broadcasters' language favours the occupying soldiers over the
occupied Arabs, depicting the latter, essentially, as alien tribes
threatening the survival of Israel, rather than vice versa. The
struggle between Israel and the Palestinians is shown, most especially
on mainstream bulletins, as a battle between two 'forces', possessed
equally of right and wrong and responsibility. It is the tyranny of
spurious equivalence.
