MODERATORS
What? The BBC is, on the whole, pretty balanced. You can tell because people on both sides of any issue complain about it being biased in favour of the other.
The BBC was heavily criticised by the UK median regulator for being pro-hamas and taking literal Hamas sources and presenting them as Palestinian civilians.
The "balanced because both sides complain" is a vacuous take on this.
Robbie Gibb who sits on the BBC's Board of Trustees is Editor of Jewish Chronicle. The JC is shadow funded by the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
Raffi Berg, BBC News online’s Middle East editor is a fan of Netanyahu.
Even people who work there are up in arms about it's slavish adherence to Israel's narrative.

Dead lord this media literacy is absolute dogwater. Israel cries antisemitism while committing genocide, BBC covers for them, liberals call it "balanced because both sides complain".
More than 100 BBC staff accuse broadcaster of Israel bias in Gaza coverage
