"A legal bid to force the BBC to disclose an internal report on its coverage of the Middle East was given a massive boost by the House of Lords today.
The Law Lords held by a 3-2 majority that a case brought by lawyer Steven Sugar under the Freedom of Information Act was wrongly blocked by legal rulings at earlier court hearings.
The case now returns to the High Court for further argument before a final decision is made."
Maybe the High Court will order the BBC to release of the Balen report, although it probably won't. However the fact that the BBC are fighting so hard not to publish the Balen report leads me to conclude that the report does not agree with the BBC's claims of impartiality in its coverage of Israel and the Palestinians.
Thanks to Iain Dale for the spot.
