📢 NEW REPORT:

Despite 34x more Palestinian deaths, Israeli fatalities received 33x more coverage per death.

Humanising stories:
BBC ran nearly the same number of victim profiles for Palestinians (279) & Israelis (201) — despite 34 times more Palestinian deaths.
📣 Emotive language like “slaughter” & “massacre” was used 4x more often for Israelis.

#MediaBias #BBCGazaCoverage @BBCNews
🎙️ Whose voices count?
The BBC interviewed:
🔹 2,350 Israelis
🔹 1,085 Palestinians

#BBCBias @BBCNews
BBC asked 38 guests to condemn Hamas. It asked zero to condemn Israel’s mass killing of civilians.

#BBCBias
🕊️ Context erased:
Only 0.5% of BBC articles mentioned Israel’s occupation of Palestine.
The BBC only mentioned ‘occupation’ 14 times in news articles when providing context to 7 October (0.3% of articles)
Apartheid, settlements, expulsions — all missing from the story.

#Gaza #BBC @BBCNews
📵 Genocide claims shut down:
BBC presenters interrupted or dismissed genocide claims over 100 times — yet made no mention of Netanyahu’s Amalek reference or genocidal rhetoric by Israeli leaders.
The BBC is underreporting what the world increasingly sees as a live-streamed genocide.
🔒 Unequal victims:
The BBC called Israeli captives "hostages" - but Palestinian detainees, incl. children held without charge, were "prisoners."
During a major hostage exchange (90 Palestinians, 3 Israelis), 70% of articles focused on the 3 Israelis.
#DoubleStandards @BBCNews
🎥 Gaza vs Ukraine:
The BBC:
🔸 Mentioned Russian war crimes 2.6x more than Israeli ones
🔸 Used sympathetic language for Ukrainian victims 2x more than for Palestinians
🔸 Covered Ukraine with twice as many articles
So much for equal coverage.

#GazaUnderAttack #Ukraine @BBCNews
📑 The Centre for Media Monitoring @cfmmuk calls for an independent public review of the BBC’s Gaza reporting.
This report is evidence-based, rigorous & damning. The BBC must reform.

GB News reporting here on local opposition to a Muslim burial site being built in Farnham. The journalist focused the story on 'concerns around Muslim practices of body storage', as reported by "local press". These reports don't exist. Is GB News manufacturing moral outage?
The 1st interviewee, an activist in Farnham, dismissed GB News' line of questioning, referring instead to concerns around congestion and the environment, not body storage.
A 2nd interviewee was then brought on to discuss the "difference between a Muslim burial and a normal Christian one". The interviewee was then asked about "local concerns about [unrefrigerated] bodies" and whether it is "legal in the UK to store an [unrefrigerated] body for 24hr"

1/🧵 NEW REPORT: GB News seems to hate Islam and Muslims. Would you agree?

Our 2-year analysis - published today - shows our findings & reveals an obsessive focus on Muslims unlike any other UK broadcaster.

Full report here:
  cfmm.org.uk/gbnews-report-…
2/ 📊 GB News’ obsession with Muslims is staggering:

- 17,000+ mentions of Muslims/Islam
- 50% of ALL mentions across UK news channels
- Double the coverage on "Sharia" of BBC & Sky combined Image
3/ This isn't just about quantity. GB News has systematically portrayed Muslims through a hostile lens, with presenters regularly:

- Promoting conspiracy theories
- Platforming far-right voices
- Rarely featuring Muslim perspectives

During this election, GB News, the Telegraph, Jewish Chronicle & other news outlets have framed Muslims voting in the #GeneralElection2024 as “sectarian”, “extremists”, antisemites and constantly questioned their loyalty to Britain.

Evidence laid out in the thread below 🧵1/25 Image
Concerns and anger over Gaza have been framed as a "Muslim issue" across the media and elections such as Rochdale where @georgegalloway won have been described as as a dark period for British Democracy Image
The good Muslim/bad Muslim dichotomy was seen on Talk TV when speaking about the Rochdale by-election, where those who voted for @georgegalloway were described as "Hardline Muslims" by Tim Montgomery

Do you remember how the British Media covered #TrojanHorseAffair?

As @nytimes latest podcast shows, there was no plot and the media failed to ask basic questions around the letter and its origins.

Lives ruined. Communities slurred. Will newspapers and broadcasters apologise? ImageImageImageImage
As @OborneTweets has argued; “With few exceptions, journalists failed to examine the underlying facts while repeating what turned out to be false allegations.”

middleeasteye.net/opinion/trojan…
The investigation by @samirashackle in @gdnlongread states,“It is hard to imagine these kinds of stories garnering such levels of media attention had they not involved Muslim staff or pupils.”

The @talkRADIO, @dailystar & @Daily_Express reported a gay paramedic was refused entry to a mosque to treat a heart attack patient

Our investigation found this demonisation of mosques was made up

Basic checks would have prevented this dangerous lie being spread

More here👇🏽👇🏽
The caller "Tom" was given almost 17 mins of airtime by @cristo_radio to make allegations including how he was prevented from entering the #Mosque, was threatened with decapitation the streets of #Oldham and that he needed police back up on call-outs to certain addresses
The presenter further curated the call in a direction where the caller was allowed to say parts of Greater Manchester had areas he wouldn't go into and all of the areas had the common feature of being "highly populated by #Muslims ." Where have we heard this before?

Today, as the #Christchurch attacker faces sentencing in New Zealand, CfMM has launched a groundbreaking report, "How The British Media Reports Terrorism."

Here's a thread of some of our key findings.

Full report available on our website: cfmm.org.uk/resources/publ…
Reporting of attacks is inconsistent, depending on who the perpetrator is, with white, non-Muslim perpetrators less likely to be referred to as #terrorists.
Words identifying #Muslims or #Islam are more frequently placed alongside “terror”, “terrorist”, “terrorism”, or “terrorist(s)” in comparison with the most frequent identifiers of #farright or #WhiteSupremacist terrorism.
