In an Al Jazeera report, ten journalists who have covered the Gaza conflict for CNN and the BBC have alleged pro-Israel bias in the coverage of those outlets from October 7 onward.

In several cases, they accused senior newsroom figures of failing to hold Israeli officials to account and of interfering in reporting to downplay Israeli atrocities. In one instance at CNN, false Israeli propaganda was put on air despite advance warnings from staff members.

Adam*, a journalist at CNN, said before October 7, he “hand on heart” trusted the network’s journalistic practices. “But after October 7, the ease with which I saw news lines that supported the Israeli narrative come out really shook me,” he said.

Sara*, a former BBC journalist, told Al Jazeera that she no longer saw her future at the outlet in part because of a “sort of unwillingness among the executive” to address concerns around editorial bias.

The BBC and CNN denied allegations of bias. Names marked with an asterisk* have been changed to protect identities.
