The BBC regrets

The Jerusalem Post reports that the BBC has apologized for significant errors in two recent stories on Israel, one involving a fabrication that the BBC has now “clarified.” The BBC has yet to “clarify” how the fabrication came to be broadcast. There is nevertheless a pattern to the BBC errors that suggests an answer. These BBC errors add to a larger pattern I tried to draw some time back in “The disgrace of the BBC.”
