In response to Big Media outlets lack balance on Gaza

Media bias

Each night in its coverage of the Gaza violence SBS monotonously intones the line when referring the Hamas, ‘Hamas is recognised as a terrorist organisation by many states, including Australia.’ What is the purpose of this? It represents a failure to apply non-subjectivity to reporting a news item. It clearly causes a bias to the rest of the news item. I have written to them calling for them to desist. I suggest other do also.
