Gaza Demo at the BBC Whiteladies Road

For about a week people have been camping outside the BBC building on Whiteladies Road, Bristol protesting about a perceived bias in coverage of the current conflict in the Gaza Strip and Israel. Today they're in court with the BBC trying to evict the protestors.

Protestors outside the Civil Court in Redcliffe:

I tend to avoid getting involved in Israel / Palestine discussions and in general every political group accuses the BBC of bias against them. On this occasion though I think the protestors have a point. In particular the complete absence of Hamas and Fatah from the BBC coverage is remarkable. Both are democratically elected representatives of the Palestinian people.

Medialens - an organisation whose neutrality I trust - has covered the issue of the BBC's reporting here: 'Disgustingly Biased' - The Corporate Media On The Gaza Massacre.
