Story from Deadline:
BBC employees openly revolted about the UK national broadcaster’s Gaza coverage during an all-staff meeting earlier this month, per leaked messages seen by Deadline.
Tim Davie, the BBC’s director general, hosted an “ask me anything” event with employees in June, during which he was grilled about editorial decisions relating to the Israel-Hamas conflict.Four sources told Deadline that questions and statements about the crisis were among the most “upvoted” by employees, increasing their chances of being put to Davie. BBC News CEO Deborah Turness also took questions during the event.The messages, some of which accused the BBC’s output of being favorable towards Israel, were leaked amid internal anger about the corporation scrapping the documentary, Gaza: Doctors Under Attack.
