Israel to counter inbuilt bias

(Via Roy Greenslade)

The Israeli media machine is on the march again

The Jeruselum Post is reporting that


A UK-based pro-Israel lobby will bring a delegation of senior journalists from major media outlets to Israel on Sunday.Fourteen editors and senior journalists will visit for six days - including senior editorial staff from the Times, Independent and Sun newspapers and broadcasters from the BBC and Sky News, in a trip organized by the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre (BICOM) to show them events from Israel's point of view.



This no doubt is to counter what the Israeli's see as an inbuilt bias towards the Palestinian side.Lets hope that the Israel's alos allow the journalist to visit the occupied territories to provide the required balance.
