No they're not, they are protesting about Granada messing about with the timings of Coronation Street during the world cup.

No, we can make our own minds up.
Truth is the first casualty of war, always has been.

Probably the last of the sandal wearing, whale saving tree huggers making their way back from Glastonbury.

I usually watch Al Jazeera instead, I trust them to be more objective on political stories.

LOL . It certainly works on this forum.

I've had a quick browse on the main board and I can't see any sign of anyone having any issues with the press.

One side claims the BBC is pro-Arab. The other side that it's pro-Israeli. That tends to lead to a somewhat smug or simplistic assertion that they therefore must be pretty well impartial. But it's not that simple. The view put across can depend on the journalist, the editor, the context and a host of other things, including the perception of the audience.
In 2004, stung by criticism that it was relentlessly pro-Palestinian, the BBC commissioned Malcolm Balen, who was a senior editorial adviser to the corporation, to examine and report on the allegations. The Balen report has been kept secret but a leak says that he did conclude that the BBC's coverage was markedly pro-Palestinian. Orla Guerin, as an example, made no secret of where her sympathies lay. There was so much hatred of her coverage among Jews in the UK that I know it was being put about that she was Bernadette Devlin's daughter (which is not true).
Since the Balen report, it appears that the BBC has made significant efforts to change its reporting of the on-going conflict but it may well be that it has gone a little too far the other way. The only reporter I truly trust of theirs is Jeremy Bowen, who is generally pretty objective.
