About the Event
About Lecture:
This lecture examines how the BBC’s reluctance to ascribe responsibility or blame to people it views as non-white, combined with anti-Israel bias, creates a perfect storm that undermines the British national broadcaster’s standards of impartiality and accuracy. This is Part 2 of CAMERA’s three-part series on Media Bias in the U.S., U.K., and Israel.
