Unfortunately, here in Aotearoa New Zealand our media frequently and uncritically uses BBC reports to inform New Zealanders on the Middle East. For example here are two BBC stories carried on RNZ this past week here and here. To the BBC, RNZ and TVNZ, murdered Palestinian children are simply statistics. Their reliance on so much systematically-biased BBC reporting, and other sources which are often not much better, tells a different story. The first step, for the benefit of journalism and the understanding of New Zealanders is for RNZ and TVNZ is to refuse to republish any future BBC reports on the Middle East.
