ISRAEL CHOOSES AL JAZEERA TV OVER BBC

HOW COULD THEY TELL THE DIFFERENCE?

BBC World has been dropped by Israel's satellite provider Yes TV in favour of the newly launched al-Jazeera English... Although BBC World will still be available in Israel via cable, it will lose around 50% of its audience in the country as a result of being dropped by Yes... The BBC has had a difficult time over its coverage of Israel, with regular accusations of bias coming from both the Israeli and Palestinian sides. Earlier this year an independent panel was set up by the corporation's board of governors to review its coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
