Declassified UK: UK Media is on Israel's side

Posted: 8th March 2024

The media’s role in the face of Israel’s aggression in Gaza – and plausible genocide – should be to responsibly report the news, validate facts, hold all powers to equal account and paint an accurate picture of events.

But whether this is actually so is the focus of a new, exhaustive report by the Muslim Council of Britain’s Centre for Media Monitoring. It reveals Britain’s worst kept secret: the systematic bias of the mainstream media in favour of Israel when it comes to reporting on its onslaught in Gaza.

The report analyses 176,627 television clips from over 13 broadcasters including the BBC, ITV, Sky and Channel 4.

It also scrutinises 25,515 news articles from over 28 UK online media websites including The Guardian, Times, Express and Telegraph, between 7 October 2023 and 7 November 2023.

Our honest and critical reporting is needed now more than ever. We need people like you to back us.
