A soon-to-be-released report by Trevor Asserson slams BBC-Arabic’s radio for biased commentary during the Second Lebanon War. YNet News explains:
The research team observed the station’s main commentary program “Hadith al-sa’a” (Talk of the Hour) during the Second Lebanon War, and concluded that commentators supporting Iran and its views were given preference.
The station’s commentators, the report said, did not even try to hide their clear sympathy for the Lebanese side and Hizbullah fighters.
Asserson’s previous studies of the BBC are impressively thorough and online at his web site, BBCWatch.
