Complaint
A viewer complained that a report by the 麻豆社鈥檚 International Editor Jeremy Bowen included an interview with Lynn Hastings, the UN鈥檚 Deputy Special Co-Ordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, in which he put questions to her which reflected bias against Israel.聽 The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the 麻豆社鈥檚 editorial standards of impartiality.
Outcome
The questions the complainant objected to were appropriate for an interview focused on the humanitarian concerns arising from the Israel-Gaza conflict, and did not reflect or imply a particular attitude on Mr Bowen鈥檚 part.
Not upheld
