you're kidding, surely ,

Stay impartial!

On occasions the personal leanings of the reporters (particularly younger ones) become very obvious.. perhaps some guidance on impartiality could help.

Also, it seems to be becoming a bad habit that is widespread; please train your people to stop commencing their answers with “So..”. It is infuriating.

sibcee ,

Woeful, just woeful.

The profound lack of impartiality in this program is truly shocking. Tens of thousands of lives have been lost, including 200 aid workers, one of whom was Australian. Despite being six months in to these atrocities, the program continues to prioritise reporting on antisemitism. Let there be no doubt - the world is more concerned about anti-humanitarian acts.

M1020202 ,

Seems questionable

So the entire first half of the episode was about how some materials from a court case were probably obtained and used illegally, and then the second half details those private materials? Seems ironic.
