We were impressed with Trevor Asserson’s (pictured) take to the independent panel’s report on the BBC’s Mideast coverage. Asserson, who founded BBCWatch, told the Jerusalem Post:
“The report was not trying to analyze whether or not the Israelis or Palestinians are more to be vilified or more to be praised. It was asking whether the BBC was doing a good job and it clearly said it was not,” Asserson said.
“It basically said, ‘You the BBC have got problems… You’ve got no management structure we can see at all,'” he told the Post. “That’s a very severe criticism” and the source from which the broadcaster’s “mistakes flow,” Asserson said.
