ABC rules Q&A program ‘impartially presented’ views on Israel and Palestine
An investigation by the ABC Ombudsmen has cleared panel discussion program Q&A of allegations its episode on the Israel-Gaza war was not impartial.
882 complaints were made against the episode aired on the 13th of November, with most complaints suggesting the episode had unfairly preferenced a pro-Israel perspective.
The Q&A episode aired on 14 November was filmed without an audience
The episode was pre-recorded without a studio audience, amidst mounting divisions over Hamas’ 7th of October attack and Israel’s subsequent invasion of Gaza.
I watched this episode of Q&A and was highly disappointed on the bias in favour of the pro-Israel guests and their views. Patricia disproportionately challenged the guests who were there in support of the plight of the Palestinians which was very disappointing as I always thought she had a lot of integrity and was balanced in any other topic Ive heard her cover on ABC radio.
Its shocking to see how the pro-Israel has such strong influence in our media here in Australia. Especially since its so blatantly found its way into our “trusted” media corporations such as the ABC. Sad to see.
