Steven Sugar, a commercial solicitor, is heading for the High Court in a legal battle to force the BBC to release the details of an internal report on its Middle East coverage, which he suspects will prove a bias against Israel as well as pro-Palestinian tendencies.
The court case comes after a protracted and increasingly heated legal battle between Sugar and one of the world’s most famous broadcasters.
Sugar has spent months using Britain’s Freedom of Information laws, designed to encourage openness, to force the BBC to release details of its internal 20,000-word Balen Report, which investigated the levels of balance in the BBC’s Israel reporting.
The BBC refused to do so.
That’s the way to do it. Hold them accountable. Slowly but surely expose hypocrites.
I wish him luck. BBC has a history of being one-sided benefitting the Palestinians.
ITS AN OPEN SECRET THAT BBC IS PRO ARAB AND OPENLY ANTI ISRAEL
