The external watchdog Michael Prescott highlighted other issues at the BBC. This from the Corporation’s website:

“Mr Prescott raised concerns about several other elements of the BBC's news output.
He claimed its reporting of trans issues was effectively "censored" by its specialist LGBT reporters, who promoted a pro-trans agenda.
"I was told that time and time again the LGBTQ desk staffers would decline to cover any story raising difficult questions about the trans-debate," the memo said.
And he pointed to problems with BBC Arabic's coverage of the Israel-Gaza war, including a claim that the service's "story treatment was designed to minimise Israeli suffering and paint Israel as the aggressor".
Other "troubling matters" were raised:
Prescott says the BBC's coverage of the 2024 US election was more critical of Trump than of his opponent, Kamala Harris
He said the BBC published "ill-researched material that suggested issues of racism when there were none", including in a now-removed BBC Verify story about car insurance
There was a "selection bias" against sending stories about migration and asylum seekers to BBC News app users as push notifications
His other criticisms include misrepresenting the percentage of Palestinian women and children who have been killed by Israel's military in Gaza, and misrepresenting the likelihood of children starving under Israel's aid blockade.”
