Balen report on anti-Israel bias in BBC journalism
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to request a copy of the Balen report on the possibility of an anti-Israel bias in BBC Journalism. The BBC's charter states that the BBC has a duty to provide "accurate and impartial news". If there is an anti-israel bias in BBC journalism, then the Corporation has failed in this duty. It is, therefore, in the public interest to have the contents of the report shared and examined independently.
Yours faithfully,
Christian Nerdrum
