#JonathanCook | BBC editor's libel case against Owen Jones falls at the first hurdle. Here's why

"Berg and his lawyers had hoped to force Jones to defend the article on the basis it was a “statement of fact”.

This distinction is crucial. Had the judge agreed with Berg’s team, responsibility would have fallen on Jones to prove what amounts to intent by Berg to skew BBC coverage – something that, in the absence of internal documents revealing what was being said behind closed doors – would have been nigh impossible."

Ben voyons.

Selon plusieurs employés de la BBC, le rédacteur en chef Raffi Berg contrôlerait la couverture en ligne du génocide à Gaza pour s'assurer que les crimes israéliens soient « édulcorés » ou ignorés.

On l'avait bien compris, mais c'est mieux quand c'est prouvé.

A very long article on #DropSiteNews which highlights #BBCBias on the reporting of the #IsraeliGenocide, and the role of one man in particular, #RaffiBerg. If even a fraction of these allegations are true, it's a very dark period for the #BBC.
