A former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey of Clifton, has expressed his disappointment with the BBC's handling of the recent Hamas attacks. Lord Carey stated that he is "ashamed" of the national broadcaster, accusing it of being biased and partisan in its coverage.
Not fit for purpose
In his criticism of the BBC, Lord Carey emphasized that the broadcaster's reporting is not independent or impartial. He argued that the BBC fails to distinguish between acts of murder and self-defense, as well as between bestial acts against babies and legitimate acts of war. Lord Carey believes that such biased reporting renders the BBC unfit for its intended purpose.
Backing from prominent figures
Lord Carey's remarks echo the sentiments of other prominent figures, including veteran BBC correspondent John Simpson. Simpson recently stated that the BBC should not "take sides" by avoiding labeling Hamas as a terror group, despite its legal definition as such in the UK. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has also called on BBC bosses to accurately characterize Hamas.
Impartiality row
The BBC is currently facing backlash over allegations of partiality, specifically in relation to the murder of Israeli civilians. The broadcaster is under scrutiny for social media activity of its journalists from BBC News Arabic, who seemingly endorsed comments describing Hamas as freedom fighters. The BBC has announced that it is conducting an urgent investigation into the matter.
