Bad news emerged today as The Press Gazette reports that "The BBC today successfully fended off a Court of Appeal bid to force it to make public the Balen report, an internal review of its reporting in the Middle East... but today Lord Justices Buxton, Lord Justice Lloyd and Sir Paul Kennedy backed the High Court ruling. Sugar is considering taking his case to the highest court in the land, the House of Lords, where he would argue that the Act was badly drafted and prevents disclosure of material which should be available in the public interest."
If the report didn't accuse the BBC of bias against Israel I doubt that the BBC would be so keen on suppressing it. If I am wrong then I will happily apologise but only if the Balen report is released in its entirety first.
